More about Emily
- 7 years' experience
- Female
- LPC
I am a counselor in Michigan with over 7 years of experience working with children and families in an educational setting. In working with families, I have coached parenting skills, helped provide techniques for managing anger and anxiety.
My therapy style is very client centered. All people are worthy of respect, compassion and empathy. I pull from many different techniques to (solution focused, cognitive-behavioral) to help find what works best for you. My goal is to provide a safe and open place where you can share your thoughts and feelings without fear of judgment.
If you are looking for Christian counseling- we can explore how God's word connects to making positive changes in your life.
It takes courage to take the first step towards making change in your life, so be proud of yourself!
I look forward to working with you!

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.
Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.

Emily is very sweet and understanding and has a great personality.
Emily does a great job of helping you discuss issues and problems while working to find solutions with addressing those life stressors. She is very kind and understanding, offering methods to practice with anxiety management.
She is wonderful and responsive and compassionate for myself, my situation and continued to support before and after each session!
Awesome!
Emily is the best. She’s very kind and really tries to understand the problems you want to work through.
Best therapist I’ve ever worked with!
So far I have had two sessions, and done some messaging. I find the flexibility of session to be comforting based on my mood. I also find the journal(and the ability to share it), as well as the instant messaging to be very helpful. It alleviates any anxiety I may have of being able to share my experiences. My therapist is very open and honest. My therapist listens very well and responds with respectful and appropriate things that let me know my concerns are being considered.
Emily is very knowledgeable and very helpful. She’s kind and it is very easy to talk to her about concerns. She suggests things that benefit the situation. I’m very glad to have met her.
