About Emily

Emily Meyers is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with 16 years of experience based in Missouri. She works with adults on problems such as stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, anger, addictions, relationship and family concerns, parenting strain, grief, and career stress. Sessions are conducted in English and she does not accept international clients.

Her methods draw on evidence-based talk therapies combined with attention to the body and nervous system. She uses approaches like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Client-Centered Therapy, and Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT). In sessions she helps people notice what their bodies are telling them, learn skills for emotional regulation, and practice new ways to respond when anger or overwhelm shows up.

Emily has worked with people dealing with chronic illness, attachment and abandonment concerns, autism and Asperger syndrome, codependency, and complex trauma. She also supports those facing caregiver stress, chronic pain or disability, and survivors of loss or separation. Her experience includes helping people manage disruptive mood symptoms and patterns that interfere with daily life.

Her approach is practical and grounded. She blends conversation with exercises that target thinking patterns and emotional responses. Clients learn concrete strategies for coping with intense emotions, building resilience, and changing unhelpful habits.

How sessions work

Therapeutic approaches and what to expect online

Emily uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and to act in ways that match their values. ACT is useful when anger or anxiety keeps someone from living the way they want.

She also applies Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and to practice clearer responses. CBT gives concrete tools for managing strong emotions, reducing reactivity, and changing habits that fuel anger.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose or combine methods based on goals, preferences, and how symptoms show up. That decision is revisited as therapy progresses, so plans can change if something is not working.

Session options are not specified in the biography, so confirm current formats before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, shorten check-ins when time is tight, and allow use of exercises between meetings. Licensed professionals can adapt ACT and CBT exercises to remote sessions, using written worksheets, guided skill practice, and verbal coaching to help manage anger and build more helpful responses.
