About Emily

Emily Meyers is a licensed professional counselor and licensed mental health counselor who blends talk therapy with somatic and creative methods. She offers calm, practical support for people dealing with trauma, chronic illness, grief, and intense stress. Her style is warm and curious, and she aims to help people find steadier footing in everyday life.

She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Client-Centered Therapy to make treatment concrete and usable. Sessions include grounding practices, emotion regulation skills, and gentle exploration of how past experiences show up in the body. Emily helps clients name patterns and build simple routines that reduce overwhelm.

Her background includes expressive approaches such as art therapy and mindfulness, which she combines with nervous-system oriented work. This can look like breath and movement practices, body-awareness exercises, and talking through memories at a pace the client can manage. The focus is on safety, tolerable pacing, and practical tools that carry into daily life.

People who seek her out often want help with anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, chronic health struggles, ADHD, and relationship or identity concerns. She also supports those coping with caregiver stress, cancer, and addiction-related issues. Over 16 years of practice, Emily has developed a flexible way of working that adjusts to each person’s needs.

If someone wants to begin, they complete a short questionnaire to match with her and then schedule a session. The process is straightforward and centered on finding what will help the person feel more steady and connected.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on identifying what matters to a person and learning small steps to act in line with those values. It helps with anxiety, depression, and life transitions by teaching skills to accept difficult feelings while moving toward meaningful goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors influence each other and uses practical exercises to shift unhelpful patterns. It is useful for anxiety, mood challenges, and coping with stress. Client-Centered Therapy centers the person’s experience and emphasizes empathy, listening, and collaboration to help someone feel understood and build self-trust.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about symptoms, goals, and preferences and then recommend or combine methods that fit. This is a collaborative process, and adjustments are made as therapy progresses to ensure the approach serves the person's needs.

Confirm which session formats are offered before booking, as specific options are not listed here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow people to practice skills in their daily environment. It also supports consistent check-ins during difficult periods like grief or chronic illness, and can make short coaching-style sessions or regular therapy more practical for someone juggling work, caregiving, or medical appointments.
