Emily Myers , LPCC

Emily Myers is a licensed professional clinical counselor in Ohio with 14 years of counseling experience. She combines past work in helping roles and classroom teaching to make sessions practical and down to earth. Emily aims to create a calm space where people can talk about hard things and take small steps forward.

Her training includes a Master's in Community Counseling from Youngstown State University and earlier work in early childhood education. She has worked in settings that addressed depression, anxiety, substance use, and family-focused concerns. That range shaped an approach that adapts to each person's needs.

Emily uses client-centered conversations so the person she is meeting sets the agenda. She pairs that with solution-focused ideas to identify concrete next steps. Cognitive behavioral strategies are offered when patterns of thinking and behavior are getting in the way of goals.

She helps people manage stress, anxiety, low mood, and relationship or family strain. She also supports those facing trauma, eating or addiction issues, and concerns about self-worth or body image. Additional interests include adoption and foster care, blended family challenges, and caregiver stress.

Sessions are described simply and directly. People can expect practical tools, chance to tell their story, and collaboration on small, workable changes. Emily welcomes conversations about goals, options, and what a helpful next step would look like.

Approaches that translate well to online care

Client-centered therapy focuses on what matters most to the person in the room. The therapist follows the client's lead, listens closely, and helps set priorities and goals. This approach works well for many concerns, including relationship strain and stress.

Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. Sessions include practical exercises and small behavior changes to reduce anxiety, depression, or unhelpful patterns related to eating and addiction.

Feeling out the right approach is part of the process. Emily will work together with each person to choose techniques that match their needs, goals, and preferences. That collaborative planning helps shape each session and the short-term steps people try between meetings.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video calls let people use visual cues and longer conversations, while phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text allow for shorter check-ins or ongoing support between longer sessions. These options give flexibility for scheduling, pacing, and how someone prefers to engage with therapy.
