About Emily
Emily Chavie is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) based in Florida with 19 years of experience. She greets clients with a straightforward, compassionate style and focuses on practical steps that can reduce stress and improve daily life. Emily communicates in plain language and aims to make therapy feel accessible from the first session.
Emily helps people who face relationship tensions, parenting challenges, mood issues like depression and bipolar disorder, anxiety, trauma and addiction concerns.
Background and approach
She also supports those grappling with grief, anger, self-esteem, ADHD, and life transitions. Her work includes attention to codependency, guilt and shame, and postpartum or pregnancy-related adjustments. Her approach blends methods such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Attachment-Based Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Client-Centered Therapy.
Sessions emphasize clear goals, skill-building, and using what works in day-to-day life. Emily adapts language and pace to each person so tools feel realistic and usable. Emily offers multiple formats for contact including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging.
Sessions are arranged through a subscription model that can be canceled at any time and pricing varies with location and therapist availability. She provides therapy in English and practices in Florida. To begin, a prospective client completes a short matching questionnaire and schedules a meeting based on therapist availability.
Emily focuses on partnering with people to set realistic goals and slowly build changes that fit their lives.

How Emily’s Approaches Translate to Online Sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on helping people notice unhelpful thoughts and take actions that align with their values. It’s useful for stress, anxiety, and decisions about parenting or life direction. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the connection between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical skills to shift unhelpful patterns. It helps with depression, anxiety, and mood management. Attachment-Based Therapy attends to patterns in close relationships and how early bonds shape reactions; it can help with parenting concerns, intimacy issues, and relationship stress.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Emily treats approach selection as a collaborative process and will help clients test methods and adjust based on what fits their goals and daily life. Sessions can mix techniques so the plan matches individual needs rather than a single formula.
Online therapy offers flexibility for people balancing work, childcare, or busy schedules. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be a simpler option when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging suit quick check-ins, ongoing coaching between sessions, or when writing feels easier than speaking. These options make it easier to keep momentum and fit therapy into a real-life routine.
