About Emily

Emily Meyers brings a relational, body-aware approach to therapy that centers Internal Family Systems alongside evidence-based methods. Emily uses IFS principles to help clients explore internal parts, while integrating tools from acceptance and commitment work, cognitive behavioral techniques, and emotion-focused strategies to address presenting concerns.

Background and approach

She works from a stance that honors both emotional experience and practical coping skills. With 16 years of clinical experience, Emily combines traditional talk therapy with somatic and expressive practices such as mindfulness and art-based methods.

Her practice focuses on stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, addictions, self-esteem, grief, and a wide range of life transitions. She also attends to issues like ADHD, body image, attachment and abandonment concerns, chronic illness and caregiver stress, and challenges related to communication and codependency.

Licensed as an LPC and LMHC, Emily offers a warm, curious presence and emphasizes pacing that matches each person’s readiness for change. Clients can expect collaborative work aimed at calming the nervous system, building emotion regulation skills, and increasing self-trust so they can move toward more meaningful daily living.

Integrating IFS and Evidence-Based Care in Online Sessions



Internal Family Systems helps clients identify and dialog with different internal parts - such as protective managers and vulnerable exiles - to reduce internal conflict and promote self-leadership, which can be useful for trauma, anxiety, and patterns that feel stuck. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying values, developing psychological flexibility, and learning to accept difficult thoughts and feelings while taking committed action toward valued life changes. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathic understanding, unconditional positive regard, and a collaborative therapeutic relationship that supports healing through connection and attunement.

Finding the right combination of approaches is part of the therapeutic process, and Emily works collaboratively to tailor methods to a person’s needs, goals, and preferences. She listens for what resonates, adjusts pacing, and integrates somatic or expressive tools as appropriate so clients can experiment with techniques that feel most helpful.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, making it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules and to access care from home. These formats support ongoing skill building, check-ins between longer sessions, and a variety of ways to engage that match individual comfort and accessibility needs.
