More about Emily
- 3 years' experience
- Female
- LCSW
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a Bachelor and Master's degree from Florida State University. I graduated in 2007 and have dedicated my life to helping others over the past 11 years. I have specialized experience in couples work, grief and loss, addiction and compulsive disorders, as well as working with children and teenagers. For the past two years, I have worked as a counselor for the Army and Air Force. I have a wealth of knowledge and experience regarding the military lifestyle and the unique challenges service members and their families face.
My hope is to provide a safe and nurturing place for you to share your thoughts and struggles. It can be scary to reach out for help when we are feeling sad or overwhelmed. I use a personable, open approach with clients and focus on tangible goals that can be implemented to improve your quality of life. My therapeutic modalities include cognitive-behavioral therapy, brief solution-focused therapy, as well as narrative and art therapies. I believe creativity serves as one of life's greatest gifts to restore healing. I also believe that we are our own best helper, and I will support you in your own journey to healing and happiness. Congratulations on taking the first step in improving your life! It would be my honor to serve as your companion and confidante.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
