About Emily

Emily Meyers combines cognitive behavioral methods with somatic and creative practices to support people navigating trauma, chronic health challenges, and intense sensitivity.

Background and approach

She draws on 16 years of clinical experience and uses a grounded, compassionate stance to help clients notice how stress and past experiences show up in the body and daily life. Emily holds LPC and LMHC licensure and brings both talk therapy and expressive tools to help clients build emotional regulation and self-trust.

Her work emphasizes practical skills alongside attunement to bodily signals, using mindfulness, art-informed techniques, and paced processing to address anxiety, depression, grief, addiction, and a wide range of relationship and identity concerns.

Emily creates a collaborative environment where clients explore patterns such as attachment wounds, abandonment fears, and chronic stress, and develop strategies for coping with life transitions, health-related challenges, or workplace and caregiving strain. Clients seeking a therapist who blends evidence-informed approaches with attention to bodily experience will find a flexible, supportive clinician in Emily.

She encourages gradual, client-led change and supports each person in finding sustainable tools for resilience, clearer communication, and renewed meaning.

Therapeutic approaches applied to online care

Emily integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy in ways that translate well to remote work. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with practical behavioral experiments to reduce anxiety and increase functioning. ACT helps clients clarify values, practice mindful acceptance of difficult feelings, and commit to actions that build a meaningful life even when distress is present.

She uses these approaches alongside client-centered listening to create a collaborative planning process. The therapist and client work together to decide which methods fit best for presenting concerns and personal preferences, adjusting techniques over time so the work remains aligned with goals and pace.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which can make scheduling more flexible and allow therapeutic work to continue from home, during life transitions, or when travel or health needs make in-person visits difficult. These options support consistent access to skills practice, check-ins, and emotionally focused conversations while accommodating different communication styles and daily rhythms.
