About Emily

Emily Myers is a licensed professional clinical counselor (LPCC) based in Ohio with 14 years of counseling experience. She began her professional path after earning a Bachelor of Science in Early Childhood Education from Youngstown State University and later completed a Master’s in Community Counseling there, graduating summa cum laude in 2009. Emily moved from classroom work into counseling and has built a long career helping people navigate hard moments.

She has worked in settings that addressed depression, anxiety, substance use, and family-centered concerns. Emily combines practical methods with a client-centered attitude. Sessions focus on what the person in front of her wants to talk about and work on that day.

Her approach draws on several methods, including client-centered techniques, cognitive behavioral strategies, solution-focused ideas, mindfulness practices, narrative work, and trauma-focused therapy. She tailors these tools to each person rather than using one fixed method. That means sessions might include talking, skill practice, or looking at unhelpful thinking patterns.

Emily often helps people dealing with stress, relationship and family strain, parenting challenges, addictions, body image and eating concerns, LGBT issues, and trauma and abuse. She also supports people facing life changes, career stress, anger, low self-esteem, and codependency patterns.

How these approaches work online

Trauma-Focused Therapy aims to help people process difficult or painful memories in manageable steps. It often includes focusing on the impact of past events and building skills to feel more in control of thoughts and reactions. Client-Centered Therapy puts the persons needs and goals at the center of each session, giving space for what is most important that day and helping people find their own solutions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions interact and teaches practical tools to change unhelpful patterns and cope with anxiety, depression, or stress.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasnt helped before. Together they choose methods that fit the issue and the persons pace, adjusting as progress is made.

Confirm the current online session options before booking since formats are not specified here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life. It can reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins on a work break, or avoid needing to be on camera if that helps. Licensed professionals can use online meetings to teach coping skills, practice new ways of relating, and guide processing of difficult memories while working at a comfortable pace.

These summaries are based on the profile information listed on BetterHelp. Listing trauma-focused therapy does not mean a therapist holds a specific certification such as TF-CBT, EMDR or CPT.
