About Emily

Emily Moley is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in New York who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, bipolar symptoms, and issues tied to trauma and abuse. She also supports clients facing relationship strain, parenting challenges, addiction, intimacy concerns, and problems with self-esteem or anger.

Emily uses clear, direct conversation to help people name what feels wrong and try practical steps to feel steadier. She trained in mental health counseling and has practiced for 13 years, starting after earning a Master of Science degree in Mental Health Counseling.

Background and approach

Early work in outpatient clinics introduced her to a wide range of concerns, including mood disorders and co-occurring substance use. Later roles expanded her experience with trauma, family dynamics, and how past abandonment and trust issues shape daily life. Emily draws on Client-Centered work to create a listening space where the client’s perspective leads the session.

She blends that with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify unhelpful thoughts and try small behavior changes. Existential ideas also inform her approach by addressing meaning, values, and life choices when clients feel stuck. Sessions focus on practical coping skills and clearer communication patterns.

Emily helps people spot strengths, rehearse different responses, and move away from old coping strategies that no longer serve them. She aims to keep sessions straightforward and grounded in real-life problems. People who prefer a collaborative, reflective approach that also includes hands-on exercises may find her style a good match.

Emily emphasizes steady progress over quick fixes and works with clients to set realistic goals they can build on.

How Emily Uses Different Approaches Online

Emily often combines Existential Therapy with Client-Centered and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) depending on the person’s needs. Existential Therapy helps people look at life choices, meaning, and values when they feel stuck or unsure about direction. Client-Centered work focuses on listening closely and letting the client’s priorities shape each session. CBT breaks problems into specific thoughts, feelings, and actions and tests small changes to reduce symptoms like anxiety or low mood.

Choosing the right approach is a team process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Together they try methods and adjust the plan as progress unfolds so sessions match what the person needs in the moment.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to offer flexibility. Video calls let people use visual cues and deeper conversation. Phone sessions work when bandwidth is limited or for quick check-ins. Live chat or messaging can support short check-ins, homework review, or ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy routines and to keep momentum between meetings.
