About Emily
Emily Myers is an Ohio licensed professional clinical counselor (LPCC) with 14 years in counseling and more than 20 years working in helping roles and customer service. She trained in early childhood education at Youngstown State University and later earned a Master’s in Community Counseling from the same school, graduating summa cum laude in 2009. Emily draws on both counseling experience and practical people skills in sessions.
She keeps sessions focused on what the client wants to work on that day. Emily uses client-centered methods to listen and reflect, and solution-focused and cognitive behavioral techniques to set small, doable goals. That mix helps people tackle stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship problems in clear steps.
Emily has worked in settings addressing depression, anxiety, substance use, and family-centered care. She also helps with parenting strains, blended family issues, adoption and foster care concerns, caregiver stress, and body image or eating-related difficulties. Financial stress and money-related worries are among the areas she can address within broader life and career concerns.
Sessions are practical and goal-oriented while still allowing time to talk through painful experiences. She draws on narrative and mindfulness approaches when those match a person’s needs, helping people reframe difficult stories and develop present-moment coping skills.
People who want straightforward support, step-by-step problem solving, and an empathic listener may find this a good fit. Emily works in English and practices in Ohio as an LPCC.
How her approaches translate to online work
Emily uses client-centered counseling to follow each person's priorities, offering space to talk through problems and decide next steps. This approach helps when someone needs listening, validation, or practical planning for life changes.She also uses cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thoughts and try small behavior changes. That approach is helpful for anxiety, stress, low mood, and for setting clear, manageable goals. Mindfulness practices are used when helpful to build present-moment awareness and reduce reactivity to stressors.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Emily will collaborate with each person to pick methods that match their goals, preferences, and daily life. That may mean mixing client-centered listening with CBT exercises and brief solution-focused steps.
If you plan to work online, confirm the available session formats before booking since formats are not listed here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work, childcare, or busy days. They also allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and for choosing options that require less bandwidth or no video when that helps keep a session manageable.
