About Emily
Emily Keehn is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in California with four years of clinical experience. She works primarily with adult clients on concerns such as stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, relationship and family matters, and coping with life changes.
Her style is direct and calm. Sessions are collaborative and practical. She combines skills from Dialectical Behavior Therapy and other evidence-informed approaches to help clients develop clearer coping strategies.
Emily uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to address unhelpful patterns of thinking and to increase purposeful action. She also draws on mindfulness practices to help people manage strong emotions and reduce reactivity in daily life.
In sessions she focuses on building a working relationship and on usable skills. Conversations move from understanding problems to trying small, doable changes. That can mean new ways to handle conflict, better routines for stress, or clearer steps through grief and loss.
Emily also pays attention to practical life factors like caregiver strain, chronic illness, and financial stress when those are part of a person’s situation. She aims to help people gain clarity about next steps and to practice tools between sessions.
Sessions are conducted in English and are meant for adults. Before booking readers should confirm the current session options and scheduling process.
How sessions work
How Emily’s approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings while committing to actions that matter. It can be useful for anxiety, low mood, and finding clarity about priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thinking patterns and testing new behaviors to reduce distress. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and daily coping problems. Mindfulness Therapy trains simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and increase awareness of the present moment.Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Emily works collaboratively to figure out which methods fit a person’s goals, needs, and preferences. That might mean combining elements from different approaches and adjusting methods over time based on what proves helpful.
Specific session formats were not listed in the biography, so confirm the available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter or more frequent check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It also supports working on skills between sessions in the context of everyday life. Licensed professionals, including this clinician, can adapt exercises and homework for remote sessions so people can practice tools where they live and work.
