Emily Magusiak

Emily Magusiak is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people manage stress, anger, anxiety, and relationship struggles. She supports those facing grief, parenting challenges, trauma and abuse, sleep problems, and mood concerns like depression and bipolar symptoms. Emily works with people confronting life changes, compassion fatigue, ADHD, and issues around self-esteem. With more than 10 years of professional experience, Emily draws on work with a wide range of concerns. She has experience supporting adults and children, including those with intellectual and developmental differences. She also has a particular focus on fertility challenges and maternity loss. Emily approaches therapy with a belief that each person knows their story best. She highlights strengths and helps clients build practical skills to navigate problems that feel overwhelming. Sessions typically involve talking through current struggles, identifying patterns, and trying new ways of coping. She offers EMDR sessions as part of her pathway toward certification, and will work with clients who are interested in that process. Emily combines that work with evidence-based therapeutic techniques tailored to each person’s needs and goals. People choosing to work with Emily start with a matching questionnaire, then schedule sessions based on availability. Her practice is based in Pennsylvania, and she provides services in English, including to international clients.

Approaches for managing strong emotions online

Emily uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques tailored to the issue at hand. One approach she offers is targeted trauma work with EMDR during her certification pathway; EMDR helps people process distressing memories and reduce the intensity of upsetting symptoms for those affected by trauma. Another common method she uses involves practical skill-building to manage stress, anger, and mood shifts through strategies like emotion regulation and problem-solving skills. Finding the right approach is part of the work. Emily will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their needs, goals, and comfort level. She helps people weigh options and adjust the plan as therapy progresses so methods match changing priorities. Because the original profile does not list specific session formats, confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into busy days, reduce travel time, and allow check-ins during a lunch break or between errands. Some formats also require less bandwidth or make it easier to have a shorter follow-up conversation. Discuss scheduling preferences when you complete the matching questionnaire so session logistics support real-life routines.
