More about Emily
- 15 years' experience
- Female
- LCPC, LPC
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in the states of Maryland, Virginia, and Arizona. I graduated from Louisiana State University in Shreveport with my Masters in Counseling Psychology. For the past 15 years, I have been working with adults, adolescents, children and families from various backgrounds. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, anger management, relationship issues, ADHD, and trauma.
My counseling style is a combination of Person-Centered, Cognitive-Behavioral, and Solution-Focused. I think it is very important to focus on building a strong therapeutic relationship to help the counseling process be most effective. I believe in meeting the client where they are mentally and emotionally in order to help them work toward what they would like to achieve in counseling. I always encourage and support the client with creating individualized therapeutic goals to help motivate and empower the client to make positive changes.
I look forward to working with you and helping you overcome the challenges you are experiencing.

About online counseling
- Affordable.
- Pay a low flat fee.
- Convenient.
- Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
- Available now.
- There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.
Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Emily is very kind and understanding. She makes me feel like I'm being listened to when no one else will listen, and I feel very comfortable talking about all my problems with her.
Emily is a very good listener and really does care about you.
I was a little skeptical about doing counseling only online but Emily has been amazing. She’s responded to my messages quickly and our phone sessions are great. I just started but I feel like she has helped tremendously already. I would recommend Emily and BetterHelp to everyone.
Emily is great about reaching out
I like the way she really works on trying to help me solve my problems while also listening to everything I have to say :)
She’s patient and thoughtful and always follows up!
So far, Emily has been very helpful. She listens carefully to my concerns and makes me feel heard.
Emily is an excellent counselor. I am so happy that I got so lucky as to find her. She’s really been helping me get through a tough time and always checks in with me weekly, even after our phone calls, to see how I’m doing. She even sent me resources that I can use to strengthen my process of healing. She is a wonderful counselor and person, and anyone would be lucky to have her as a counselor!
