About Emily
Emily Meyers is a licensed counselor who brings 16 years of experience to her practice in Missouri. She is an LPC and a Licensed Mental Health Counselor, and she focuses on stress, anxiety, trauma, and a wide range of life challenges including parenting concerns.
She uses practical, down-to-earth methods so parents can find clearer ways to cope and respond when life feels overwhelming. Emily blends talk therapy with body-aware approaches and creative techniques.
Background and approach
Sessions may include mindful breathing, simple movement, or expressive exercises alongside conversation. The goal is to help people calm their nervous systems and name what is happening in the moment. She draws on cognitive behavioral strategies to shift unhelpful thinking and on acceptance-based methods to build tolerance for hard emotions.
Dialectical skills and emotionally-focused work are used when relationships or intense feelings need clearer boundaries and better communication. Clients who have chronic illness, past trauma, or high sensitivity often seek her out. She also supports people dealing with grief, addiction, caregiving stress, and the everyday strain of parenting responsibilities.
Emily emphasizes steady, practical steps that can be used between sessions. Her sessions are offered in English and delivered remotely by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. Costs vary by location and use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.
To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to availability.

Online approaches that combine mind and body
Emily often uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in online sessions. ACT focuses on helping people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions aligned with what matters. It can be useful for stress, anxiety, and parenting choices. CBT helps people identify and change unhelpful thinking patterns and develop practical coping skills for mood, anxiety, and behavior concerns.She also integrates client-centered techniques that prioritize the person’s experience and pace. This means the therapist listens closely, reflects what she hears, and works collaboratively to shape goals. Finding the right approach is part of the process and she will help determine what fits based on each person's needs, goals, and preferences.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is helpful for face-to-face conversation and nonverbal cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when a shorter check-in works better. Live chat and text-based messaging let people send thoughts or questions between sessions and can fit into a busy day. These options make scheduling more flexible and help therapy fit into everyday life.
