About Emily
Emily Meyers is a licensed professional counselor and licensed mental health counselor who helps people manage strong emotions and life strain. She combines practical talk therapy with approaches that pay attention to the body and everyday coping skills. Emily works from Missouri and brings 16 years of clinical experience to her practice.
Her approach mixes Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, cognitive behavior strategies, and client-centered listening. Sessions focus on spotting unhelpful patterns, learning skills to regulate intense feelings, and making small changes that fit daily life.
Background and approach
She also draws on dialectical behavior ideas and emotionally focused work when relationships or big emotional reactions are part of the concern. Emily often supports people dealing with anger, stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, and issues such as addiction or compassion fatigue. She also helps with life transitions, grief, body image, chronic illness, and attention differences like ADHD.
Her goal is to help clients build tools for steadier mood and clearer decision making. In sessions she emphasizes practical tools and steady listening. That can mean practicing grounding exercises, testing out new behavior strategies, or talking through difficult memories at a pace that feels manageable.
The work is collaborative - clients set goals and Emily helps track progress. Therapy is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. People communicate in English.
Getting started involves a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a first session.

How Emily’s Approaches Work Online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without being ruled by them, then choose actions that match their values. It’s useful for anxiety, depression, and chronic stress. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and trying new behaviors to test what works better in daily life; it often helps with anger, mood, and coping skills.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, needs, and comfort level. That means trying practical exercises together, checking in about what helps, and adjusting the plan as progress or obstacles appear.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility. Video lets people see facial expressions and practice skills in real time. Phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth or camera use is a concern. Live chat and text let clients check in between sessions or use shorter, focused communication during a busy day. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or health-related schedules while keeping the focus on practical tools and steady progress.
