About Emily

Emily Moley is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in New York who supports people working through stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, mood disorders, addiction-related issues, and challenges such as self-esteem, ADHD, and intimacy struggles.

Background and approach

She brings 13 years of clinical experience to her work and emphasizes practical skill-building alongside deeper exploration of patterns like attachment, codependency, impulse control, and guilt and shame. Her approach blends evidence-informed strategies with a collaborative, client-centered stance.

She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and solution-focused techniques to address symptoms and develop coping skills, while also integrating trauma-focused and existential perspectives to explore meaning, values, and the impact of past experiences. Emily aims to help clients identify strengths, replace unhelpful coping behaviors, and create realistic strategies for managing daily life.

Trained at St. John Fisher College, Emily earned a Master of Science in Mental Health Counseling and holds NY LMHC 006136.

Her background includes extensive outpatient work and several years providing mental health and substance use treatment within the New York State Department of Corrections and Community Supervision, which informs her understanding of complex trauma, family dynamics, and co-occurring disorders.

How Emily’s Approaches Work Online

Emily commonly integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Trauma-Focused Therapy in her online practice. CBT involves identifying and adjusting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety and depression, and it often includes practical exercises clients can apply between sessions. Trauma-Focused Therapy addresses the effects of past traumatic experiences by helping clients process painful memories and build coping strategies for triggers and relational patterns.

She also brings a client-centered orientation that prioritizes the individual's perspective and supports collaborative planning. Finding the right blend of approaches is part of the work together; the therapist will explore a client's goals, preferences, and needs and adapt methods over time to best support progress.

Online formats - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging - make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and to continue care from different locations within the therapist's service area. These options provide flexibility in scheduling and communication styles, allowing clients to access consistent therapeutic support while using the formats that feel most comfortable to them.
