Emily McClure, LPC, LPCC

Emily McClure is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, and major life changes. She writes and speaks plainly, and aims to make first steps feel manageable for someone worried or overwhelmed. Emily practices from Ohio and focuses on practical progress over time.

She brings nine years of experience across community settings and supervision roles. That background means she is used to meeting people where they are and offering straightforward feedback. Emily often combines Cognitive Behavioral Therapy with motivational interviewing and elements of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to shape sessions around clear goals.

Sessions tend to be collaborative and goal-oriented. Emily checks in on what matters most to each person and works on small strategies that add up. She pays attention to how trauma and stressful change affect daily life and adjusts support to match those experiences.

Faith is important to Emily, and she is open to faith-based counseling when a client wants that included. She also supports people who prefer a secular approach and honors each person’s beliefs and values in the work.

Emily helps people address a wide range of struggles including relationship strain, career stress, compassion fatigue, parenting pressures, eating concerns, ADHD, and codependency. Her style is warm and flexible, focused on usable tools and steady, practical change.

Because she holds licensure in Ohio only, she provides services to people living in that state.

How Emily Uses Practical Approaches Online

Emily often draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors. CBT focuses on concrete skills and short-term experiments that can reduce anxiety and improve mood. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy complements that work by helping people clarify values and take action even when emotions feel difficult. ACT can be useful for coping with ongoing stress and creating a clearer sense of purpose.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapy process. Emily works together with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. She checks in regularly and adjusts techniques so the plan stays relevant and useful for real life situations.

Online sessions are offered by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy flexible. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction for deeper skill practice, while phone sessions can work well when internet or bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging provide shorter check-ins or ongoing support between sessions. These options help people fit therapy into busy lives and different routines.
