Emily Fitzgerald , LPC

Emily Fitzgerald is a licensed professional counselor who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship concerns. She focuses on women’s issues among a wide range of life challenges. Her approach is direct and practical, aimed at making day-to-day coping easier. Emily uses simple, evidence-based tools to help people build skills and clarity. She draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy to tailor sessions to each person. Sessions emphasize clear goals, small experiments, and strategies you can use between meetings. Clients can expect a respectful and nonjudgmental space. Emily listens for patterns such as avoidance, perfectionism, or self-criticism, and she helps people notice how those habits affect mood and relationships. She works with issues including addiction, grief, trauma, body image, and identity concerns. With five years of experience as an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor - she brings practical coaching alongside psychotherapy. That can mean working on career decisions, money stress, or setting boundaries in relationships. The work often mixes problem-solving with emotion skills practice. Emily offers short-term plans and longer-term work depending on what a person wants. She encourages small steps and clear goals so progress feels real. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions based on availability.

Therapeutic approaches you can use online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages people to notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It helps when worry, shame, or self-criticism keeps someone from doing what matters most. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts, behaviors, and moods and teaches clear techniques to reduce anxiety or lift mood. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers skills for emotional regulation and managing intense reactions, useful for impulsivity, anger, and relationship strain.

Finding the best approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with a person about their goals, daily needs, and preferences and then try methods that fit. That may mean mixing ACT, CBT, and DBT tools across sessions until a helpful blend emerges.

Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to match different rhythms of life. Video works well for deeper conversations and skill teaching. Phone sessions require less bandwidth and can fit a break at work. Live chat and text messaging are useful for brief check-ins, homework support, or when shorter exchanges help keep momentum. These options make it easier to get consistent care without long commutes and allow flexibility around work and family schedules.
