About Emily

Emily Myers is a licensed professional clinical counselor (LPCC) based in Ohio with 14 years in counseling and more than 20 years working in helping roles. She began her career in early childhood education and returned to school for a Master of Arts in Community Counseling, graduating summa cum laude in 2009. Emily brings a long history of work across depression, anxiety, substance use, and family-focused roles.

Her sessions are client-driven and practical. She listens first, then helps people set short-term goals they can try between meetings. Parents and professionals often appreciate her clear, direct style and focus on what changes are possible now.

Emily blends methods to match each person's needs. She commonly uses client-centered work, solution-focused strategies, cognitive behavioral techniques, mindfulness practices, and narrative approaches. That mix helps address stress, anger, relationship struggles, parenting strain, trauma, addiction, eating concerns, and self-esteem matters.

In a typical meeting she asks what matters most that day and offers tools people can use right away. She also helps people untangle patterns that keep coming back, like codependency, control issues, or problems tied to adoption and blended families. Sessions aim to be practical and steady rather than hurried.

Emily works with common life transitions too, including career shifts, divorce and separation, caregiver stress, and coping after loss or major change. She supports LGBT concerns and assists people dealing with body image, emptiness, and co-occurring challenges. Her approach focuses on clear steps and real-world coping skills.

How Emily’s Approaches Fit Online Work

Emily often draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and test small behavior changes. CBT is a hands-on approach that is useful for anxiety, anger, depression, and problem-solving in daily life.

She also uses client-centered therapy, which emphasizes listening and following the client's priorities. That approach helps set goals based on what matters most to the person and creates space for their concerns to guide each session.

Finding the right blend is a team effort. Emily works with clients to pick methods that match their goals, comfort level, and pace. Together they try tools and adjust the plan as progress and needs change.

If you are considering online sessions, confirm the available session formats before booking since the biography does not list them. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into busy days, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and let people use mindfulness or homework tools between meetings. Therapists and licensed professionals often adapt the same CBT and client-centered techniques to work well across remote sessions.
