Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Emily uses a blend of evidence-informed approaches tailored to each person's needs. Dialectical Behavior Therapy - DBT - teaches practical skills for managing intense emotions, improving interpersonal effectiveness, and reducing impulsive behaviors; it is often helpful for people facing strong mood swings, high stress, or relationship challenges. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy - ACT - focuses on helping people clarify their values and take meaningful action even when difficult thoughts or feelings are present; it can support those coping with anxiety, grief, or life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy - CBT - helps identify and change unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors, offering structured tools to reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression and to improve daily functioning.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Emily works with clients to explore which methods fit their goals, preferences, and circumstances, adjusting the plan as therapy progresses so that techniques align with what each person finds most useful.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility and makes it easier to access care from home or another convenient location. Clients may meet by video call, connect by phone, or use live chat and text-based messaging depending on what suits their schedule and communication style. This range of options supports ongoing, consistent work with licensed professionals and therapists while accommodating busy lives and differing needs.
