About Emily
Emily Myers is a licensed professional clinical counselor in Ohio with more than 14 years working in counseling. She began her career after earning a Bachelor of Arts in Early Childhood Education from Youngstown State University and later completed a Master’s in Community Counseling at the same school in 2009.
Emily draws on a long history of helping work and education to guide practical, family-focused support. Her background includes roles supporting depression, anxiety, substance use concerns, and family-centered work.
Background and approach
Emily uses an eclectic mix of methods and favors approaches that match each person’s needs. Sessions are led by the client’s goals and immediate concerns. Parents often find her style straightforward and focused.
She helps families and individuals talk through stress, parenting challenges, relationship problems, and life transitions. She also addresses issues such as trauma, body image, addictions, and self-esteem in accessible terms. Emily commonly uses client-centered conversation, solution-focused ideas, and cognitive behavioral techniques to build skills and create small, realistic changes.
Mindfulness and narrative tools are also available when they fit a family’s situation. Her work emphasizes collaboration and practical steps. Emily listens first, then helps set short-term goals and workable strategies.
This makes it easier for worried parents to try one idea at a time and see what helps.
Therapy approaches and online flexibility
Client-centered therapy focuses on what matters to the client in the moment. It involves open listening, reflecting back what is heard, and helping families set their own goals. This approach works well when parents want an empathetic space to sort priorities and decide next steps.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact. It uses simple tools to test unhelpful thoughts and practice different responses. CBT is often helpful for anxiety, stress, mood concerns, and patterns that affect family life.
Mindfulness therapy teaches moment-by-moment awareness and simple practices to reduce reactivity. It can help with stress, emotion regulation, and staying present during tense family moments.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each client to combine these methods based on goals, needs, and preferences. Together they pick which tools to try and adjust them as progress is made.
Online therapy offers several practical options including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These formats allow sessions around busy schedules, reduce travel, and let parents use brief check-ins or longer conversations as needed. Licensed professionals can use these formats to teach techniques, review progress, and help develop step-by-step plans that fit everyday family life.
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.
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.
Mindfulness Therapy
Attention training: noticing thoughts and physical feelings as they arrive without being carried off by them. Much of it is practice you do yourself, so guidance over video or audio works much as it would in person.
