About Emily
She helps people facing depression, grief, bipolar mood challenges, anxiety, and ADHD. She also supports those coping with relationship struggles, intimacy concerns, parenting stress, and anger. Additional focus areas include addictions, shame-based family of origin issues, codependency, and issues that often occur alongside other diagnoses.
Emily’s work blends client-centered ideas with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and motivational interviewing techniques. She uses clear conversations, short homework tasks, and occasional experiential exercises or stories to make points practical and memorable. Sessions aim to link thoughts, feelings, and behavior so clients can try small, testable changes between meetings.
Treatment planning is collaborative: she and the client set goals together and track progress in simple steps. Her approach emphasizes steady, manageable work rather than dramatic fixes, and she stays engaged as people practice new patterns.
With 29 years of experience in Indiana, she brings decades of clinical exposure while keeping the work straightforward. People who want an empathic, down-to-earth counselor to help sort through complex life and relationship issues often find her approach fits well.

How her approaches translate to online care
Emily uses client-centered therapy to prioritize each person’s experience and values, creating space for people to describe their struggles and goals in their own words. This approach helps with building trust and clarifying what matters most to the client.She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to connect thoughts, feelings, and actions. CBT focuses on practical techniques and homework tasks to test new ways of thinking and behaving, which can help with anxiety, depression, mood disorders, and compulsive patterns.
Motivational interviewing is part of her work when people want to change habits like substance use or other repetitive patterns. This method encourages people to find their own reasons for change and to set realistic next steps.
Choosing a therapeutic approach is a collaborative process. She will talk with each person about goals, try methods that fit those goals, and adjust over time based on what helps. That means the plan can shift as progress is made or priorities change.
If you are interested in online sessions, confirm the current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, save travel time, and provide continuity when schedules are tight. Different formats can suit different needs, and she will help figure out what works best for your situation.
