Emily Myers, LPCC

Emily Myers is a licensed professional clinical counselor in Ohio with 14 years of counseling experience. She moved from classroom work into counseling after earning a master’s degree in community counseling from Youngstown State University in 2009. Emily draws on a long background in helping roles and a practical style to support people through hard times.

She keeps sessions focused on what the person wants to work on that day. Emily uses client-centered conversation to listen first, then helps clients set small goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy ideas are often part of her work, especially when people want to change anxious thoughts or behaviors.

Emily also brings solution-focused and mindfulness strategies into sessions. That means she helps people notice what works, build short-term steps, and use simple mindfulness tools to manage stress. She blends approaches to match each person’s needs rather than insisting on one method.

Her experience includes helping people with anxiety, depression, stress, addiction concerns, and trauma. She also supports parents, people dealing with relationship and family challenges, and those facing life transitions. Additional focus areas include adoption and foster care, body image, caregiver stress, and communication problems.

Emily’s manner is straightforward and practical. Conversations aim to produce usable steps people can try between sessions. She encourages steady progress and adapts the plan as goals change.

Approaches that translate well to online therapy

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and meeting the person where they are. The therapist follows the client's lead, helping them name concerns and set meaningful goals that feel relevant. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical strategies to test and change unhelpful patterns; it often suits anxiety, depression, and stress-related issues.

Finding the best approach is a team effort. Emily will work with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences, and she adjusts techniques as progress is made. That collaborative planning makes sessions feel tailored rather than fixed.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video allows face-to-face conversation when visual cues are helpful. Phone calls are useful when bandwidth is limited or for a simpler check-in. Live chat and text messaging let people work through short concerns or keep momentum between longer sessions. These options help fit counseling into busy lives and different routines.
