About Emily

Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Tennessee with 4 years of experience, Emily Hand helps people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, grief, parenting concerns, relationship and intimacy issues, sleep problems, anger, self-esteem, career questions, depression, coping with life changes, and ADHD.

Emily uses practical, interactive conversation rather than labels. She draws from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR). Sessions focus on clear steps people can try between meetings and on noticing what gets in the way of daily functioning.

Her work includes supporting people who have experienced physical trauma or emotional abuse. She also has experience with substance and behavioral addiction concerns. In session Emily helps people talk through grief, reduce anxiety, manage anger, and address patterns that affect relationships and parenting.

Emily describes her style as curious and interactive. Conversations aim to identify practical coping skills, shift unhelpful thoughts or behaviors, and build new approaches to stressful situations. She explains therapies plainly and helps people pick techniques that match their goals.

Sessions typically involve short-term skill-building and longer-term work when needed. People considering therapy are asked to complete a brief questionnaire before scheduling a first session so the initial meeting can focus on goals and next steps.

How Emily’s approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) emphasizes noticing thoughts and values-driven action. Online sessions can focus on exercises that help a person clarify what matters and try small behavior changes between meetings. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) addresses traumatic memories by pairing focused attention with guided processing; in remote work this often involves guided bilateral stimulation and careful preparation before memory work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks down unhelpful thought and behavior patterns and teaches practical skills people can practice between sessions.

Choosing the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what a person has tried before, then jointly decide which methods to use. This collaborative planning can start in the first meeting and is adjusted as work progresses.

The biography did not list specific session formats, so confirm which formats are offered before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Therapists can assign short practice tasks to do between meetings and use remote sessions to review progress and adapt techniques to everyday routines.
