About Emily
Emily Moley is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in New York who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, mood swings, and relationship struggles. She supports people dealing with trauma and abuse, substance use concerns, attention challenges, and issues around self-esteem and intimacy. Emily aims to make the first step feel a little easier for someone who is worried or unsure about reaching out.
Emily earned a Master of Science in Mental Health Counseling from St. John Fisher College in Rochester, New York, and she has practiced in outpatient clinics and correctional settings. Over 13 years she has worked with people facing co-occurring mental health and substance use concerns, and has led groups for people with dual diagnoses.
Her way of working is straightforward and respectful. She centers the person in the room and assumes they hold many of their own answers. Sessions focus on listening, reflecting, and helping clients notice strengths they can build on.
Emily blends Client-Centered Therapy with practical tools from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused approaches. She also draws on trauma-focused and existential ideas when those fit a person’s history and questions.
She emphasizes learning coping skills and testing small changes in everyday life. The work can be hard and sometimes uncomfortable, but she treats that as part of growth. People who want a collaborative, steady presence during difficult changes will find a clear, down-to-earth style.
How evidence-based approaches fit into online care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person’s experience, offering empathy and space to talk through hard issues so people can find their own answers. This approach helps when someone feels overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure of next steps.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into patterns of thoughts and behaviors and offers concrete strategies to change them. It is often useful for anxiety, depression, mood swings, and unhelpful coping habits. Trauma-Focused Therapy concentrates on restoring safety and building coping skills after traumatic events, addressing symptoms like flashbacks, avoidance, and enduring shame or guilt.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. That means trying things out, adjusting as needed, and combining listening with practical exercises when it helps.
If you are considering online therapy, confirm available session formats before booking. Online options can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. They can also help people continue care consistently while balancing work, school, or parenting responsibilities.
