About Emily
Emily Moley, LMHC, helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, parenting challenges, relationship strain, and substance use concerns. She works with people dealing with trauma, bipolar mood patterns, ADHD, and issues around intimacy and self-esteem. Emily speaks plainly and focuses on practical steps people can take to feel steadier day to day.
Emily earned a Master of Science in Mental Health Counseling from St. John Fisher College in Rochester, New York, and is a New York Licensed Mental Health Counselor. She began her career in an outpatient clinic working with adults and teens on mood disorders, anxiety, and co-occurring substance use. Over time she led a group for people with co-occurring disorders and deepened her focus on integrated treatment.
Later she provided mental health and substance abuse services within the New York State Department of Corrections and Community Supervision. That experience shaped her understanding of how trauma, abuse, abandonment, trust, guilt, shame, and family dynamics affect behavior and relationships. She learned practical ways to help people build coping skills and reclaim agency in difficult situations.
In sessions she follows a collaborative, person-focused style. Emily emphasizes that clients often hold their own answers, and she helps them uncover those answers. Together they identify strengths and develop concrete coping strategies to replace old patterns that no longer serve them.
Her approach blends client-centered work with cognitive-behavioral, solution-focused, existential, and trauma-focused ideas. Emily aims to make therapy a clear, manageable process so people can take steps toward the life they want.
How Emily’s approaches translate to online care
Client-Centered Therapy centers the person in the room and focuses on empathy, listening, and helping people name their priorities. It can help when parenting stress, relationship patterns, or self-esteem feel overwhelming. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact and teaches practical tools to change unhelpful patterns; it is often useful for anxiety, depression, and mood regulation.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Emily will talk with each person about goals and preferences, and then tailor a plan that may draw from client-centered, CBT, solution-focused, existential, or trauma-focused ideas. The process is collaborative and revisited as needs change.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life by removing travel time and allowing more flexible scheduling. It also supports shorter check-ins when needed, lets people attend from quieter surroundings, and can make it easier to maintain continuity of care across life transitions. Licensed professionals help clients adapt therapeutic techniques to work well in remote sessions.
