About Emily
Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in New York with 13 years of experience, Emily Mayback focuses on stress, anxiety, addictions, depression, relationships, family concerns, trauma and abuse, grief, intimacy issues, parenting, self-esteem, career matters, bipolar disorder, and coping with life changes.
Emily uses a client-centered approach that keeps the person's goals at the center of sessions. She also draws from cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), mindfulness techniques, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused therapy to shape practical steps. Sessions are interactive and designed to reflect each person’s current needs.
She has worked in human services settings for over a decade, gaining hands-on experience with substance use and drug and alcohol addiction as well as common mood and stress disorders. That background guides how she structures treatment and sets achievable goals with clients.
In session, Emily emphasizes clear conversations about what’s working and what needs to change. She helps people identify small, doable actions, test them between meetings, and adjust the plan based on results. Mindfulness practices and CBT exercises are used to manage symptoms and build coping skills.
Emily prefers regular communication during the week and typically responds at least once in the morning and once in the evening on weekdays. She does not respond to messages or schedule sessions on weekends. To begin, she asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial session.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online sessions
Client-centered therapy focuses on the person’s priorities and values. The therapist listens, reflects, and helps set goals that come from the client. This approach is useful for working through relationship questions, parenting stresses, and life transitions.Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) targets the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. In sessions, the therapist and client identify unhelpful thinking, try new behaviors, and track results between meetings. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, and coping skills when facing setbacks.
Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and improve concentration. These exercises can be brief and are easy to practice between sessions to help manage stress or cravings related to addiction.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist collaborates with the client to pick methods that match the person’s goals, preferences, and day-to-day realities. Plans are adjusted as needed based on what is helpful.
Confirm the specific session formats offered before booking, as those details are not listed here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time so appointments work around work or caregiving commitments.
