About Emily
Emily Tarantola welcomes people dealing with stress, anger, anxiety, and life transitions. She writes in a straightforward way and focuses on helping people who feel stuck find practical steps forward. Emily is listed with MD and LCPC credentials and brings 15 years of clinical experience to her work in Maryland.
She uses a client-centered stance that starts with listening. Sessions begin by understanding what matters most to the person and by setting clear, achievable goals together.
Background and approach
That grounded approach is paired with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which looks at unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and replaces them with more effective patterns. Mindfulness practices and solution-focused techniques are woven into sessions to offer fast, usable strategies. These methods can help with anger, mood shifts, self-esteem, and the everyday stress of parenting, caregiving, work, or school.
Emily also addresses trauma-related concerns and grief, tailoring steps to each person's pace. People can expect a calm, practical style that emphasizes problem solving and short-term skills alongside deeper work when needed. Sessions aim to build tools you can use between meetings, like thought tracking, grounding exercises, and communication skills.
Emily helps clients clarify small, reachable changes that add up over time. Her background includes working across a range of mood and behavioral concerns, including ADHD, seasonal affective disorder, and challenges tied to identity and relationships. She offers a straightforward path for those ready to focus on change and coping skills.

How Emily blends approaches for online care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person first. It means the therapist follows the client's lead, reflects what they say, and helps set goals that matter to them. This approach is useful for anyone who needs a supportive space to sort priorities and feelings.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It uses concrete exercises like thought tracking and behavior experiments to reduce anger, anxiety, and low mood. CBT is often chosen when someone wants practical tools to change patterns that cause distress.
Emily treats choice of approach as collaborative. She will talk with clients about what fits best - combining listening, skills practice, and short-term solutions when needed. Together they set priorities and adjust methods as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to match different needs. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier to fit into a work break. Live chat and text-based messaging work well for quick check-ins, brief coaching, and ongoing skill reminders between meetings. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to keep up with a busy life.
