About Emily
Emily Moley is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in New York who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, ADHD, and relationship or family challenges. She speaks plainly and works to make the first step feel less scary for someone reaching out for help. She trained at St.
John Fisher College and earned a Master of Science in Mental Health Counseling in May 2011. Over 13 years she has worked in outpatient clinics and ran groups for people with co-occurring mental health and substance use concerns.
Background and approach
Her background includes several years providing mental health and substance abuse treatment in the corrections system. That correctional work shaped how she sees trauma and abuse. She often addresses issues tied to abandonment, trust, guilt, shame, and parenting.
She also supports people dealing with mood disorders, addiction, impulsivity, and communication or control problems. In sessions she uses client-centered methods alongside cognitive behavioral and trauma-focused approaches. She aims to help people spot patterns, try different coping skills, and build on strengths rather than relying on old habits that no longer work.
Emily takes a collaborative stance in the room. She listens first, asks practical questions, and helps people find their own answers. The process is focused on small steps and tools that can improve daily life.
Her work is direct and practical, with an emphasis on safety and steady progress. People who want clear guidance and a calm, steady partner through difficult feelings often find her approach helpful.
How Emily’s Methods Work Online
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and building a supportive space. The therapist follows the person’s lead, reflects what she hears, and helps people identify their own answers; this can help with self-esteem, relationship concerns, and decision-making.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. In short, sessions teach practical exercises to test unhelpful thoughts and build healthier routines, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, ADHD-related organization, and mood symptoms.
Trauma-focused work concentrates on how past harm affects current thinking and behavior. It uses careful, paced conversations and coping tools to reduce distress tied to trauma, abuse, shame, or abandonment issues.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. She will talk with each person about their goals, try methods that fit those goals, and adjust the plan as needed. The collaboration helps pick tools that feel doable and relevant to daily life.
Online formats make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text messaging provide shorter check-ins or ongoing support between sessions. These options help people use therapy in ways that suit their routines and communication preferences.
