About Emily
Emily Johnson is a licensed professional counselor in Colorado with ten years of clinical experience. She talks plainly and calmly, helping people who feel overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, grief, depression, or relationship strain. She also supports those coping with eating concerns, body image worries, obsessions and compulsions, phobias, and trauma-related distress.
Her way of working starts with listening to each person's story and strengths. She treats clients as the experts on their own lives and focuses on small, practical steps that fit day-to-day life.
Background and approach
Sessions aim to build skills for coping, reduce intense shame or self-criticism, and find ways to reengage with meaningful activities. Emily draws from approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and Trauma-Focused Therapy. She uses clear exercises, thought records, and values-based tools to help people notice patterns and make changes that matter.
She also teaches mindfulness and emotion-regulation techniques from Dialectical Behavior Therapy when helpful. Her style balances warmth with straightforward guidance. People leave sessions with specific strategies to try between meetings and a plan for the next steps.
Emily helps clients track progress and adjust the work as needs change. Emily works with adults and holds a Colorado LPC license. She offers sessions in English and brings a decade of varied clinical experience to each conversation.
Therapeutic approaches and online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people clarify what matters to them and take small steps toward those values, even when difficult thoughts or feelings are present. It’s useful for anxiety, depression, and when someone feels stuck and wants practical motivation. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and uses exercises to test and change unhelpful thinking patterns; it often helps with anxiety, OCD-like worries, and mood concerns. Trauma-Focused Therapy concentrates on processing and reducing the impact of traumatic experiences with pacing and stabilization techniques to improve daily functioning and reduce reactivity.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Emily will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals and comfort level. She adjusts techniques over time and checks in regularly so the plan stays useful and realistic.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions permit face-to-face conversation and longer interventions. Phone meetings can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for brief check-ins. Live chat and text messaging allow quick reflections, between-session support, and flexible scheduling. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life while keeping the focus on practical skills and steady progress.
