Emily Shiers

Emily Shiers is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Mississippi with 20 years of clinical experience. She helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by anger, stress, anxiety, and life transitions. She also supports those facing parenting challenges, grief, addiction concerns, and relationship strain.

Emily works in a direct, respectful way. She listens first, then helps people set clear, realistic goals. Sessions focus on practical steps for managing strong emotions, improving communication, and restoring day-to-day balance.

Her background includes long-term work with adults connected to child protective services and with people aiming for family reunification. She also has experience supporting people with psychosis and with complex co-occurring issues. That breadth shapes a pragmatic, trauma-aware approach.

In the therapy room she adapts the conversation and plan to each person’s needs. The work may include skill practice, problem-solving, and building routines that cut through immediate stress. She emphasizes steady progress over quick fixes.

Emily aims to help clients feel more in control of anger and impulsivity, and to improve how they cope with change. If you want straightforward help and a focus on usable strategies, she may be a good fit. To begin, follow the site’s Start Therapy process to match and schedule a session.

How evidence-based approaches work online

Emily uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on skills and problem solving. One approach centers on teaching emotion regulation and coping skills to reduce anger and impulsivity; sessions can include practicing breathing, grounding, and step-by-step plans for responding to triggers. Another approach emphasizes problem-solving and behavior change to address stress, addiction, and daily routine disruption; this involves setting small goals and tracking progress over time.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss options, listen to what matters to the client, and tailor methods to goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process that can change as needs evolve.

If you prefer online sessions, confirm available session formats before booking since formats are not listed here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into busy schedules, cut travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people practice skills between sessions in their everyday setting, which can support steady progress.
