Emily Myers, LPCC

Emily Myers is a licensed professional clinical counselor (LPCC) based in Ohio with 14 years of counseling experience. She began her career after earning a Bachelor of Science in Early Childhood Education from Youngstown State University and later completed a Master’s in Community Counseling at the same school, graduating summa cum laude in 2009. Emily brings two decades of work in helping roles and customer service to her therapeutic work.

Her background includes roles focused on depression, anxiety, substance use, and child- and family-centered services. She draws on a mix of approaches and adapts sessions to what each person wants to address. Sessions are driven by the client’s goals and concerns rather than a fixed agenda.

Emily commonly uses client-centered listening to help people feel heard and understood. She also uses solution-focused techniques to set small, clear goals and cognitive behavioral methods to examine thinking patterns that affect mood and behavior. Mindfulness and narrative ideas are woven in when they fit a person’s needs.

She works with a range of life issues including stress, relationship concerns, parenting and family matters, mood concerns like depression and anxiety, and challenges such as addictions and trauma. Additional focuses include abandonment, adoption and foster care, body image, caregiver stress, codependency, and communication problems.

Her style is practical and collaborative. She helps people create manageable steps, reframe unhelpful thoughts, and build skills they can use between sessions. The aim is steady progress toward clearer goals and better day-to-day coping.

How Emily’s Approaches Translate to Online Therapy

Emily commonly blends client-centered therapy with cognitive behavioral techniques. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening without judgment and letting the client set the agenda, which helps when someone needs a calm space to sort feelings. Cognitive behavioral therapy looks at how thoughts influence actions and moods and uses exercises to change unhelpful thinking patterns, which can help with anxiety, depression, and stress.

She also draws on solution-focused ideas to set clear, manageable goals while working through immediate concerns. That approach is short-term and practical, which many people find useful when they want concrete changes between sessions. Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work together; the therapist will talk with the client about goals, needs, and preferences and adapt techniques over time in a collaborative way.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the available session formats before booking since session options are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life by reducing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins when needed, and making scheduling more flexible. It also lets clients use approaches like guided thought exercises, goal planning, and mindfulness practices from wherever they are, as long as the chosen format supports those activities.
