Emily Chavie, LMFT - Therapist in Florida

About Emily

Emily Chavie is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist practicing in Florida with 19 years of clinical experience. She works with parents and family members to address everyday problems that affect home life. Her approach is practical and easy to understand for a worried parent reading on a phone.

Emily helps people manage anxiety, stress, depression, bipolar mood issues, and trauma. She also addresses parenting challenges, relationship and family conflicts, grief, addictions, and intimacy concerns.

Background and approach

She uses familiar, evidence-based tools to help clients learn new skills and cope better day to day. Her style is warm and straightforward. She listens first and then shapes sessions around each family's needs.

Sessions focus on concrete strategies, communication skills, and small changes that add up over time. Emily draws from several therapy methods to find what fits each person. She blends cognitive behavioral ideas with attachment principles and mindfulness-based practices when useful.

The plan is adjusted as progress is made and goals shift. Clients can expect respectful, nonjudgmental care and a focus on practical steps for home life. Emily aims to support families in building healthier patterns, improving parenting confidence, and reducing daily stress.

Therapeutic approaches and how they translate online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on helping people notice difficult thoughts and choose meaningful actions anyway. It can be helpful for anxiety, stress, and issues that get in the way of living according to personal values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions interact and teaches concrete skills to change unhelpful patterns. It often helps with depression, mood swings, and anxiety. Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to relationship patterns and how early bonds shape reactions; it can aid families and parent-child dynamics.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person or family about goals and preferences, and then suggest methods to try. That decision is collaborative, and adjustments are made over time if something isn’t fitting.

Online formats like video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging make it easier to fit therapy into busy family schedules. Video lets the therapist and family interact much like an in-person visit, while phone or messaging can work for quick check-ins or when children’s routines make sitting for a call difficult. These options provide flexibility so families can keep consistent support during life’s transitions.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

Less about arguing with difficult thoughts, more about loosening their grip and acting on what matters to you anyway. Values and committed action carry the work, which suits conversation at a distance.

Attachment-Based Therapy

Looks at how early bonds shaped what you expect from closeness, and how that plays out now with a partner, a parent, or your own children.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.
