About Emily
Emily Myers is a licensed professional clinical counselor in Ohio with 14 years of counseling experience. She brings a background in early childhood education and long experience in helping roles. Emily aims to make therapy straightforward and focused on what each person needs in the moment.
She earned a Bachelor of Science in Early Childhood Education from Youngstown State University and later returned to complete a Master’s in Community Counseling, graduating summa cum laude in 2009.
Background and approach
Her early work included preschool teaching, and she moved into counseling roles that covered anxiety, depression, and substance use concerns. Over her career she has held a variety of positions in clinical and community settings. That range informs a flexible approach in sessions.
Emily adapts methods to match the person sitting across from her rather than use one single model for everyone. In sessions she focuses on what the client wants to work on right now. She commonly draws on client-centered listening, solution-focused planning, and cognitive behavioral tools to help people manage stress, anxiety, relationship strain, parenting challenges, and changes in life circumstances.
Her additional focus areas include adoption and foster care concerns, blended family issues, caregiver stress, codependency, body image, and problems with substance use and eating. Emily works with issues related to trauma, anger, self-esteem, career choices, and feelings of emptiness. She conducts sessions in English and practices from Ohio.

Approaches that translate well to online care
Emily commonly uses client-centered therapy, which focuses on listening and responding to what matters most to the person. That approach helps people feel heard and shapes each session around their priorities. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, is also a frequent option and involves identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce anxiety, depression, and problematic habits.The choice of approach is a team decision. Emily will work with each person to figure out which methods fit their goals and preferences. She adjusts techniques over time and checks in to see what is helping or what needs changing.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video lets people work face to face when that helps. Phone sessions can be useful when bandwidth is limited or a simpler check-in is needed. Live chat and text allow shorter or more frequent check-ins without scheduling a full call. These options help people fit therapy into busy days and different routines.
