About Emily

Emily Myers is a licensed professional clinical counselor (LPCC) based in Ohio with 14 years in the counseling field. She began her career after earning a Bachelor of Science in Early Childhood Education from Youngstown State University and later completed a Master’s in Community Counseling at the same school in 2009, graduating summa cum laude. She brings more than 20 years of combined experience in helping roles and customer service to her clinical work.

Her approach is practical and flexible. Sessions are guided by what each person wants to focus on. She draws on client-centered and solution-focused ideas alongside cognitive behavioral techniques to address immediate concerns and longer-term patterns.

Emily has worked in a range of settings dealing with depression, anxiety, substance use, and family-related work. She commonly helps people coping with stress, relationship and parenting struggles, trauma and abuse, body image and eating issues, and challenges around identity and addiction. Adoption and foster care is listed among her additional focuses and she can discuss related issues during sessions.

Emily favors simple, collaborative conversations. She listens for what matters most and helps clients try practical steps that fit their daily life. The goal is to make progress in ways that feel manageable, not overwhelming.

Her training and background support a conversational, goal-oriented style that adapts to each person. People who prefer straightforward, down-to-earth counseling tend to find her approach easy to work with.

How Emily’s Approaches Can Work Online

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person in front of the therapist. It emphasizes listening, acceptance, and following the client’s priorities to guide the work. This approach helps when you need a supportive space to talk through parenting, relationship, or identity concerns.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. It uses practical exercises and small experiments to change unhelpful patterns, which can help with anxiety, depression, and stress management.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Emily collaborates with each person to choose techniques that match their goals and day-to-day life. She adjusts methods as needs change so therapy stays relevant and useful.

If you plan to try online therapy, confirm the specific session options before booking since formats are not listed here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and avoid travel time. They also let people use approaches like CBT worksheets and mindfulness practices between meetings to support steady progress.
