About Emily

Emily Schram is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) with eight years of clinical experience based in New Mexico. She focuses on stress, anxiety, depression, coping with life changes, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, grief, and self-esteem. Emily works with adults to talk through current problems and find skills that make daily life more manageable.

She offers straightforward, skills-based work rooted in approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and Solution-Focused Therapy. Sessions commonly focus on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns, building emotion-regulation skills, and creating small, practical steps toward change. Emily helps people practice new tools between sessions so progress can carry into everyday routines.

Emily holds a master’s degree in counseling from the University of Mississippi and a B.A. in psychology from the University of Memphis. Her clinical background includes outpatient work in community and private clinic settings since 2013, giving her experience with a wide range of concerns related to mental health and life transitions.

When working on family-related issues she helps individuals untangle family-of-origin patterns, navigate separation or divorce concerns, and manage the emotional fallout of fertility or childbirth-related stress. She also supports people dealing with body image, guilt and shame, and relationship variations such as polyamory or non-monogamous arrangements.

Sessions are offered in English. Before booking, confirm current session formats and scheduling options to be sure they fit your needs.

How sessions work

How her approaches translate to online work

Emily commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people recognize and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors; this is useful for anxiety, depression, panic, and stress. Dialectical Behavior Therapy focuses on learning emotion-regulation and distress-tolerance skills to reduce intense emotional reactions and improve day-to-day functioning. Solution-Focused Therapy is brief and practical, concentrating on small, achievable steps to reach specific goals.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Emily will work together with a client to choose which methods fit their goals and preferences. That collaboration includes trying techniques in sessions and adjusting based on how well they work in everyday life.

The original profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Therapists often adapt exercises and homework so skills are practiced between meetings and applied to real-life situations.
