Emily Moley, LMHC

Emily Moley is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in New York who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, mood swings, and struggles with relationships or parenting. She also supports people dealing with trauma, addiction, ADHD, and challenges with self-esteem or anger.

She uses straightforward talk and practical tools in sessions. Emily focuses on understanding what led to a problem and then testing small, realistic changes. She listens closely and works with each person to find steps that fit their life.

Emily trained in mental health counseling and has been practicing for 13 years. Early work in outpatient clinics exposed her to mood disorders, bipolar disorder, and psychosis, and she later led groups for people with co-occurring substance use and mental health concerns.

Many years with the New York State Department of Corrections and Community Supervision deepened her understanding of how trauma, abuse, abandonment, guilt, and family patterns shape behavior. That experience shaped the way she talks about trust, responsibility, and repairing relationships.

In sessions Emily blends cognitive behavioral techniques with client-centered listening and elements of trauma-focused and solution-focused work. She aims to help people identify strengths, practice coping skills, and replace old habits with healthier options. The approach is collaborative and practical.

Approach-driven online therapy that fits your life

Emily often uses cognitive behavioral therapy and client-centered methods in online work. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thought and behavior patterns and testing new ways of thinking and acting; it can help with anxiety, depression, mood swings, and ADHD-related challenges. Client-centered therapy emphasizes listening, empathy, and letting the person's own goals guide the work; it helps when someone needs a nonjudgmental space to sort feelings about relationships, parenting, or identity.

Choosing the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will collaborate with each person to match methods to their goals and comfort level, trying different techniques and adjusting as needed. Clients and therapist decide together which tools and strategies feel most useful.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, and text-based messaging to make therapy easier to fit into daily life. Video is good for in-depth conversations, phone is helpful when bandwidth varies, chat can suit quick check-ins, and messaging works for brief updates or ongoing support between sessions. These options make it simpler to keep appointments around work, school, and family responsibilities.
