About Emily
Emily Meyers is a licensed professional counselor with 16 years of experience who focuses on helping people recover from trauma, manage stress, and rebuild emotional balance. She works with those feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, facing life transitions, or coping with chronic illness. Her style blends practical skills with an attentive, person-centered approach.
Emily uses both talk-based methods and body-aware techniques. She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful patterns and build new habits.
Background and approach
She also uses somatic awareness and expressive practices to calm the nervous system and support emotion regulation. Sessions often include short skills training, gentle reflection, and simple exercises people can practice between meetings. Emily emphasizes small, manageable steps so progress feels doable.
Her aim is to help people regain trust in themselves and their capacity to handle difficult feelings. She has worked with people dealing with grief, addiction, relationship strain, parenting stress, bipolar mood challenges, and compassion fatigue, among other concerns. Emily also addresses attachment wounds, abandonment fears, body image struggles, and the emotional impact of chronic pain or illness.
Emily is licensed as an LPC and as a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in Washington and practices out of Missouri. She brings a calm, curious presence and helps people move toward clearer choices, steadier moods, and more satisfying relationships.
How these approaches work in online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them while they commit to actions that match their values. In online sessions this looks like short experiential exercises, values clarification, and homework to try between meetings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying thought and behavior patterns that keep problems going and teaches concrete skills to change them, such as behavioral experiments and activity scheduling that translate well to remote work.Finding the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful, then adapt methods as therapy progresses. Sessions are collaborative so techniques are tailored to each person’s needs and adjusted over time.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to offer flexibility. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and demonstrations of grounding skills. Phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins. Live chat or text messaging can support brief emotional processing, ongoing coaching, or staying connected between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or medical schedules while keeping therapeutic continuity.
