About Emily
Emily Meyers is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with 16 years of clinical experience based in Missouri. She works with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, parenting concerns, relationship and family issues, and related struggles including grief, addiction, ADHD, and coping with life changes.
Emily describes an approach that connects talk therapy with the body's responses. She pays attention to how the nervous system shows up in daily life. Sessions include practical tools for emotional regulation and strategies to manage intense feelings and overwhelm.
Her background blends traditional therapeutic conversation with expressive methods such as art-based work and mindfulness practices. That mix is used to help people notice bodily signals, process difficult memories, and develop routines that support steadier mood and clearer thinking.
People who feel stuck in patterns of anxiety or shutdown, who live with chronic illness, or who identify as highly sensitive often seek her style of care. She also works with issues like attachment and abandonment, body image, caregiver stress, and the fallout of separation or divorce.
Her work aims to build concrete skills for day-to-day life. That can include grounding exercises, emotion regulation techniques drawn from cognitive and dialectical approaches, and reflective conversation to clarify values and next steps. The focus is on steady, practical changes rather than quick fixes.
How sessions work
How Emily integrates specific approaches in online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying what matters to a person and taking small actions that align with those values. It uses simple exercises to reduce avoidance and increase meaningful activity, which can help with anxiety, depression, and life transitions.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behavior. It offers concrete tools to test unhelpful beliefs, change patterns that keep problems going, and build coping strategies for day-to-day stress and mood problems.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Emily will collaborate with each client to see which methods fit best for their goals and preferences. She reviews progress together and adjusts methods as needed so sessions remain practical and relevant.
Confirm the specific session options before booking, as formats are not listed here. Online sessions can make it easier to schedule appointments around parenting, work, or medical needs because they often remove travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They can also let clients use quieter surroundings or avoid being on camera during some visits. Ask about current session formats so arrangements can match daily life and goals.
