More about Emily

  • 21 years' experience
  • Female
  • LPC

Welcome! My name is Emily. I am a mother, partner, friend, daughter, and all-around real-life person just like you.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in the state of Louisiana with a masters degree in Marriage and Family Therapy. Since becoming licensed in 2006, I have worked with individuals, couples, and families. I have worked with children, teens, adults, and geriatric clients. I am a person-centered therapist that adapts my style to the client and the situation. My counseling style is warm, friendly, and casual. I see the counseling process as one in which you and I work to develop trust and respect for one another in order to work as a team in identifying and interrupting cycles of problematic behaviors, develop adaptive life goals, and implement strategies to help you achieve those goals.

There are a lot of "right" ways to do therapy. I have utilized and studied several counseling theories and techniques over the years. My style could be described as eclectic since I use techniques from many different theories in my practice. Some of the therapeutic approaches I tend to utilize in therapy include: Cognitive-behavioral therapy, Dialectical behavior therapy, Narrative therapy, Strategic therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Eye movement desensitization and reprocessing, systems theory, Mental Research Institute theory, Structural therapy, Mindfulness, and Solution-focused therapy.

I work with BetterHelp full-time and hold sessions on weekdays. My typical hours are as follows:

Monday: 8am - 6pm

Tuesday: 8am - 3pm

Wednesday: 8am - 3pm

Thursday: 8am - 6pm

Friday: 8am - 6pm

I look forward to meeting you and getting started on the therapeutic journey!

Emily

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 makes me feel seen and heard. She is wonderful! A perfect match for my personality and temperament

Reviewed September 2022

I look forward to talking with Emily every week. She really listens and makes me feel like she cares. I love how she is able to get me to reach my own conclusions by asking me the right questions, rather than reaching the conclusions herself.

Reviewed September 2022

Emily has been responsive and made me feel supported to work on things as they emerged. I came to her thinking my primary focus would be ADHD, but as we discussed things and I realized that relationship challenges and trauma were emerging as more disruptive in my life, she pivoted and was right there with me ready to keep moving forward. She also has had great ideas for activities for me to try that help with really thorny and complicated internal issues. Lastly, as a trans woman, it is hard to feel confident that a new therapist will fully understand me or know how to support me, but she genuinely gets me and has understood exactly how to be affirming and engage with how gender intersects with all my other challenges. Definitely would recommend her to any trans or queer friends in need of a counselor!

Reviewed September 2022

I really enjoy therapy with Emily. She is very professional but still gives me the feeling like I'm talking to a friend. She always pays attention to what needs to be talked about, even if the plan for the session was different before. If something doesn't work out the way we were hoping to she will find a new approach! I would definitely recommend her as a therapist!

I’m so happy I found Emily. She’s easy to talk to and offers great advice. I feel I can be open and honest with her because she offers judgement-free, open minded therapy. She has helped me see things in a different light. Emily always offers a perspective I’ve never thought of and wants the best for me. She responds to my messages quickly. She’s compassionate. It feels like talking to a friend. I highly recommend this therapist especially if you are a part of the LGBTQ community, like me!

Reviewed December 2021

I was nervous at first to meet a therapist but Emily made me feel comfortable right from the beginning. She gives you all the options to talk over message, phone call or video call. She has been very flexible with my schedule and is very helpful. When our times were clashing she did give me the option to get another therapist that might work better with my schedule, but I did not want to start all over. I enjoy talking with her in each session and she helps me come to some realizations that I never thought of before. She is real and down to earth and honest, that for me is the best. I am happy that she is my therapist and I would have been sad if I had to start over with another.

Reviewed November 2021

I came to BetterHelp with a lot of questions about myself, Emily helped me navigate through my issues, I know now on what do I need to focus on further and what is irrelevant for me. My future is now more clear and positive. Next time when I need help I would be happy to work with her again!
