About Emily
Emily McClure greets parents and family members with a calm, straightforward style. She is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor - LPC - and a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor in Ohio - LPCC. Emily keeps sessions practical and grounded.
She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, parenting concerns, relationships, and life changes. Emily has nine years of experience working in community settings. She has helped people coping with depression, trauma, career shifts, compassion fatigue, and challenges with self-esteem and motivation.
Background and approach
She uses everyday language and clear steps so families can try new ways of handling problems right away. Her approach is warm and person-centered. She listens first, then helps clients set goals and build simple habits that fit their lives.
Emily blends techniques to match each person - not a one-size-fits-all plan. She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy along with Motivational Interviewing and Solution-Focused methods. Those tools help with shifting thoughts, clarifying values, and creating practical plans for change.
Emily is licensed in Ohio and also serves as a clinical supervisor who mentors other counselors. She can offer faith-informed support when requested and will respect each client’s beliefs. Sessions are offered in English and designed to fit into busy family schedules.
Parents who want clear steps, honest feedback, and steady encouragement may find her style helpful as they work toward better routines and healthier relationships.
How Emily’s Approaches Translate to Online Support
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on clarifying what matters most to a person and taking small steps that align with those values. It helps when worry or avoidance gets in the way of everyday life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at habits of thinking and behavior and teaches concrete tools to reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression and to change unhelpful patterns. Motivational Interviewing helps people find internal motivation for change by exploring their goals and ambivalence in a respectful way.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Emily will collaborate with each client to choose methods that fit their goals, values, and family rhythms. She adjusts techniques over time and checks in about what feels helpful so therapy stays practical and relevant.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy fit into busy family lives. These formats let caregivers and others connect from home, work, or between commitments. The variety of options supports flexibility and consistency, making it easier to practice new skills between meetings and maintain steady progress.
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.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.
Motivational Interviewing
A way of working through mixed feelings about change without being pushed. The therapist helps you weigh things up and find your own reasons, which often makes a difficult decision feel less stuck.
