About Emily
Emily Naranjo is a licensed mental health counselor based in New York who helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship struggles, career concerns, life changes, and ADHD. She brings a calm, straightforward style to sessions and focuses on practical steps people can use right away. Emily speaks English and draws on seven years of clinical experience as an LMHC.
Her approach is grounded in listening first. She uses client-centered methods to follow each person's priorities and to create a comfortable space for talking.
Background and approach
When needed, she adds cognitive behavioral techniques to help identify unhelpful thoughts and build new habits that reduce anxiety and increase focus. Emily also incorporates psychodynamic ideas to notice patterns that repeat over time, especially around relationships and self-image. Solution-focused strategies help keep work concrete and goal-oriented, which is useful for career shifts, money worries, or getting through a transition.
Sessions tend to be practical and collaborative. Clients can expect to leave with a few small, doable steps between meetings. Emily helps people clarify what matters most to them and plans actions that fit day-to-day life.
Her background includes seven years of clinical practice in New York as an LMHC. That experience includes supporting people with workplace stress, relationship communication problems, divorce and separation concerns, and issues around identity and life purpose.
Therapeutic approaches and online care
Client-centered therapy puts the person's priorities first. Sessions focus on understanding what matters to the client and shaping work around their goals and pace, which is helpful for relationship issues, life transitions, and questions about purpose.Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and behaviors influence feelings. It uses concrete exercises and simple experiments to reduce anxiety, improve focus, and tackle unhelpful patterns that get in the way of daily life.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist works together with each person to decide which methods fit their needs and goals, and adjustments are made as progress unfolds. This collaboration helps tailor sessions to issues like ADHD, workplace stress, or communication problems.
Online therapy with Emily uses video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to offer flexibility. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversations when depth is needed. Phone calls can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when a shorter check-in fits a work break. Live chat and text messaging work well for brief updates, tracking progress, and staying connected between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life while keeping the focus on clear goals and practical steps.
