About Emily
Emily Keehn is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who focuses on helping adults navigate stress, anxiety, trauma, grief, and life changes. She brings four years of clinical experience and a trauma-informed perspective to her work. Emily aims to create a calm, direct, and collaborative therapeutic space for each person she meets.
She works with adults coming from varied backgrounds, including veterans and people living with physical disabilities. Sessions emphasize practical skills and steady support rather than quick fixes. Emily listens closely to each person’s story and helps them identify small, manageable steps forward.
Her approach blends several evidence-based methods. She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify values and take committed action. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to spot unhelpful thinking patterns and build different habits. Dialectical Behavior Therapy and mindfulness practices help with emotional regulation and staying present.
Emily focuses on the whole person, including how stress, relationships, work, and money interact. She also supports people dealing with caregiver strain, chronic illness, fertility concerns, and career uncertainty. The goal is clearer thinking and more usable coping tools for everyday life.
Sessions are collaborative and paced to fit each client’s needs. Emily favors straightforward conversation paired with concrete exercises to practice between meetings. She encourages active participation so clients leave sessions with next steps they can try right away.
How Emily's Approaches Translate to Online Work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people get clear about what matters to them and take small actions that match those values. It is useful for stress, life transitions, and persistent worry. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and changing behaviors through practical exercises. It is often used for anxiety and depression and gives concrete skills to practice between sessions.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Emily collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. She will check in regularly and adjust techniques based on what helps most in day-to-day life.
Confirm the current session options before booking since specific formats are not listed here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and keep momentum between meetings. They can reduce commute time, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and be scheduled around work or caregiving responsibilities. Emily uses these approaches to help clients translate session work into real-world steps they can try between appointments.
