About Emily
Emily Meyers is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) and licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) with 16 years of clinical experience. She blends mindfulness with grounded, body-aware methods to help people manage stress, anxiety, and the lasting effects of trauma. Her style is calm and practical, aimed at steady progress rather than quick fixes.
Emily frames therapy around how the nervous system holds experience. She uses talk-based therapy alongside creative methods such as art and mindfulness to make emotional work feel more accessible. Sessions focus on building simple skills for emotional regulation, noticing bodily signals, and developing habits that support daily functioning.
She has worked with people facing chronic illness, complex and developmental trauma, and those who identify as highly sensitive or empathic. Her specialty areas include depression, grief, addiction concerns, relationship strain, parenting stress, ADHD, and compassion fatigue among others. She also helps with attachment, abandonment, and body-image issues.
In practice Emily emphasizes collaboration. She listens for what a person already knows about themselves and then helps them experiment with small changes. Techniques from acceptance and commitment therapy, cognitive behavioral work, and dialectical behavior therapy are woven into sessions where appropriate.
Clients can expect a thoughtful, creative approach that balances emotion-focused work with concrete tools. Emily values pacing that fits each person’s needs and supports building trust, safety, and practical coping skills over time.
How Emily’s approaches translate to online therapy
Mindfulness Therapy centers on present-moment awareness and simple exercises that help people notice thoughts, feelings, and body sensations without judgment. It is often useful for anxiety, stress, and emotional reactivity because it teaches steadying practices that can be done between sessions.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters most and take committed steps toward those values, even when difficult thoughts or feelings show up. It pairs well with mindfulness because both encourage noticing experience rather than getting stuck in it.
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on a respectful, nonjudgmental conversation where the therapist follows the person’s pace and priorities. This approach helps create a calm space for exploring hard topics and building trusting strategies for change.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Emily will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and comfort level. That can mean combining mindfulness practice, ACT exercises, and talk-based reflection over several sessions so the plan grows from what actually helps.
Session logistics should be confirmed before booking since formats are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into busy days, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. Many people find that doing mindfulness exercises and skill practice between sessions makes progress more sustainable when life gets hectic.
