Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support
Emily works with Client-Centered Therapy, an approach that places the person at the heart of the process and emphasizes empathy, acceptance, and collaboration to help people feel heard and understood. This approach is often helpful for issues like low self-esteem, relationship difficulties, and coping with life transitions.She also uses Existential Therapy to explore meaning, choice, and personal responsibility when clients face uncertainty, grief, or questions about purpose. This approach can be useful for people navigating major life changes or feelings of overwhelm.
Mindfulness Therapy is woven into her work to bring attention to the present moment and bodily experience, supporting people with anxiety, stress, trauma-related symptoms, and sleep difficulties. Techniques focus on simple awareness practices that can be practiced between sessions.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey and Emily works collaboratively with each person to identify which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She aims to tailor the mix of person-centered listening, existential exploration, and mindful practices to the individual rather than applying a fixed model.
Online therapy offers flexibility in how to meet - whether by video call, phone session, live chat, or text-based messaging - so people can choose what feels most accessible. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy lives, manage mobility or geographic constraints, and maintain continuity of care when schedules change.
