Emily Adler, LCSW, LICSW

Emily Adler is a licensed clinical social worker who focuses on practical strategies to reduce stress and anxiety. She uses clear, straightforward methods to help people manage difficult feelings and regain a sense of control.

She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. That work is paired with client-centered care that respects each person’s pace and priorities. Emily helps people set short-term goals and notice small changes that add up.

Her practice includes support for trauma and abuse recovery, relationship strain, low self-esteem, and grief. She also helps with sleep problems, addiction concerns, and the stress that comes from parenting or career transitions. Emily works with people coping with life changes who want practical tools and steady encouragement.

With eight years of experience, Emily focuses on making therapy feel useful from the start. She listens for strengths and builds on what already works in a client’s life. Sessions aim to be collaborative and goal-oriented.

People who choose Emily can expect a mix of problem-solving and empathic support. She encourages small experiments between sessions to test new approaches. Over time, clients learn skills to manage symptoms and handle future setbacks more confidently.

How therapy methods translate to online care

CBT focuses on identifying thought and behavior patterns that contribute to distress and then testing small changes to reduce symptoms. It can help with anxiety, mood concerns, sleep issues, and unhelpful routines through practical exercises and between-session practice.

Client-centered therapy prioritizes the person's goals and rhythm. Sessions emphasize listening, reflection, and building on strengths so each person guides the pace and focus of the work. This approach supports recovery from trauma and helps with self-esteem and relationship concerns.

Finding the right method is a collaborative process. Emily will discuss options and tailor the approach based on needs, goals, and preferences. Together they decide whether to emphasize skill-building, trauma processing, or short-term problem solving.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video lets people use visual cues and longer conversations. Phone can fit a short break at work or be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging work well for quick check-ins, brief coaching, or tracking progress between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and maintain momentum between meetings.
