More about Emily

  • 6 years' experience
  • Female
  • LICSW

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who has experience working with a wide range of individuals, groups, and families. I have worked with children, adolescents and adults who are navigating their way through challenges such as depression, anxiety, trauma, grief, relationship conflict and parenting concerns as well as many other daily struggles. I utilize several modalities in my practice including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Seven Challenges, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and Narrative Therapy in my practice. I believe every person has the ability to improve themselves and their lives, sometimes they just need a little help.

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.
