About Emily

Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Colorado with 10 years of clinical experience, Emily Johnson helps people manage stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, eating concerns, depression, relationship strain, grief, and life changes. She offers direct, practical support and works with clients who want concrete tools for coping and clearer next steps.

Emily uses approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Solution-Focused Therapy, and Trauma-Focused Therapy. In sessions she helps people notice their patterns, test new behaviors, and build skills for managing intense feelings and distressing thoughts. She frames clients as experts on their own lives and centers their goals when planning work together.

Sessions focus on learning and practicing strategies that can be used between meetings. That can include identifying unhelpful thought patterns, trying small behavior changes, and building emotion regulation skills. For people coping with trauma, she combines trauma-focused techniques with skill-building to reduce overwhelm and improve daily functioning.

Emily emphasizes clear, step-by-step work rather than vague talk. She helps people set short-term goals and tracks progress with concrete exercises. Anyone wondering whether this approach fits their needs can raise specific concerns on intake and see how the methods feel in practice.

Her practice is grounded in evidence-informed methods applied in straightforward ways. Emily practices in Colorado and works in English.

How Emily applies specific approaches to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and choosing actions that align with personal values. It helps people who feel stuck by clarifying what matters and building small steps toward those values.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It provides practical tools for testing unhelpful thoughts and trying new behaviors, which can reduce anxiety and depressive symptoms.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal skills. These practices are useful for managing intense emotions and improving day-to-day coping.

Figuring out which approach fits best is part of the first sessions. The therapist will collaborate with the client to set goals, try different techniques, and adjust the plan based on what helps. That collaborative process helps match methods to the person’s needs and preferences.

The biography does not list specific online session formats. Confirm the available session types before booking to know what will work for your schedule. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into daily life, allow brief check-ins on busy days, and reduce travel time. Therapists also use exercises and between-session tasks that you can practice at home to reinforce skills learned in meetings.
