About Emily
Emily Callais is a Licensed Professional Counselor with 11 years of experience practicing in Louisiana. She focuses on helping people manage addictions, cope with trauma and abuse, and address parenting concerns. She also works with clients dealing with bipolar disorder and struggles around self-esteem and confidence.
She aims to make sessions feel straightforward and down-to-earth. Emily creates a calm space where people can speak honestly about what they are facing.
Background and approach
She keeps language simple and avoids clinical jargon so parents and individuals can follow along easily. In sessions she listens first and helps set clear, practical goals. Conversations often include problem-solving, coping skills, and strategies to reduce impulsive or addictive behaviors.
She tailors what she teaches to each person’s daily life and responsibilities. Emily draws on established, evidence-informed techniques to address mood problems, trauma responses, and substance use. She also helps people repair relationships with their own family of origin and manage communication or financial stress that affects daily life.
Progress is tracked in small, manageable steps. She provides several options for how to meet, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. The process to begin is to complete a brief matching questionnaire and schedule a session based on availability.
Evidence-informed approaches and flexible online care
Many of the methods Emily uses come from evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on helping people change thoughts and behaviors. One common approach is skills-based work that teaches practical tools for managing moods, reducing impulsive reactions, and coping with cravings in addiction. These tools are taught step by step and practiced between sessions so they fit everyday life.Another area she uses involves trauma-focused strategies that help people safely talk through painful memories and reduce the ways those memories cause distress now. This often includes learning grounding and emotion-regulation skills to feel steadier day to day.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Emily collaborates with each person to decide which techniques match their needs, goals, and comfort level. She adjusts methods as progress is made so therapy remains useful and relevant.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These formats make it easier to fit sessions around parenting duties, work, and travel. They also allow follow-up and brief check-ins in between longer appointments, offering flexibility for different schedules and needs.
