Emily Chavie, LMFT

Emily Chavie is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) based in Florida with 19 years of clinical experience. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, mood concerns, and challenges tied to relationships and family life. Emily aims to offer steady support and practical tools so people can move forward at their own pace.

Her approach blends structured methods and compassionate listening. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) alongside Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-focused ideas to help people notice patterns and try different ways of responding. Sessions are collaborative and goal-oriented, with simple steps to practice between meetings.

Emily often works with people coping with depression, bipolar mood concerns, trauma and abuse, grief, and addiction-related struggles. She also supports those dealing with parenting stress, intimacy issues, anger, low self-esteem, and life transitions. Her additional focus areas include codependency, forgiveness, guilt and shame, and postpartum concerns.

She describes her style as open, empathic, and nonjudgmental. Conversations are tailored to each person so plans feel realistic and doable. Emily encourages small, steady changes that fit into everyday life.

Therapy with Emily is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Sessions are arranged through a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. To begin, a short matching questionnaire is completed and then scheduling proceeds based on the therapist's availability.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Emily often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, a hands-on method that looks at how thoughts influence feelings and behavior and teaches practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns. CBT can help with anxiety, depression, stress, and mood-related problems.

She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which focuses on identifying personal values and taking committed steps toward them while learning to sit with uncomfortable feelings. ACT can be useful for life transitions, chronic worry, and motivation issues.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will ask about goals, daily routines, and what has helped or not helped before, then suggest methods to try. Clients and the therapist regularly check progress and adjust the plan based on what feels useful.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and screen-sharing for worksheets. Phone sessions can be a lower-bandwidth option or a good fit for shorter check-ins. Live chat and messaging are useful for quick reflections, homework check-ins, or when typing feels easier than speaking. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or school schedules and to keep continuity when travel or busy days come up.
