Emily Meyers , LPC, LMHC

Emily Meyers is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) and a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) with 16 years of clinical experience. She practices in Missouri and focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, and life transitions. She also pays attention to women's issues and concerns that commonly affect women.

Emily blends talk-based therapy with body-focused awareness and creative tools. Sessions often include grounding exercises, mindfulness, and practical skill-building for emotional regulation. She aims to help people notice how stress shows up in their bodies and learn simple ways to feel steadier day to day.

People come to her for many reasons - chronic health struggles, past abuse, relationship hurts, or feeling overwhelmed by sensitivity. She helps clients untangle patterns like avoidance, people-pleasing, and self-criticism. Work can include addressing attachment wounds, codependency, abandonment concerns, and difficulties with boundaries.

Her methods draw on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, and client-centered principles. Those approaches are used flexibly to match a person’s needs rather than applied the same way to everyone.

Sessions are offered through video calls, phone, live chat, and text-based messaging. Emily supports people dealing with grief, career stress, parenting strain, ADHD-related challenges, and compassion fatigue. She emphasizes steady, practical steps that fit into real life.

Emily brings warmth, patience, and curiosity to sessions. She encourages a paced process where people build skills, reconnect with what matters, and reclaim more ease in daily life.

Therapeutic approaches adapted for online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings while committing to actions that match their values. Online ACT often includes values clarification, simple mindfulness practices, and written exercises to track progress.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with real-life experiments. In virtual sessions this can mean structured skill teaching, worksheets sent between sessions, and homework that fits a person’s daily routine.

Emily treats finding the right approach as a collaborative process. She will talk with each person about goals, try strategies, and adjust the plan when something isn’t helping. That way therapy stays practical and tailored to the client’s needs and preferences.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and screen-sharing for worksheets. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging let people send brief updates, ask questions between sessions, or choose a lower-intensity way to stay engaged. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy days and to continue work even when in-person visits are difficult.
