About Emily
Emily Moley is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) based in New York. She brings 13 years of clinical experience and focuses on parenting concerns alongside stress, anxiety, mood challenges, addiction, and trauma-related issues. She writes and talks plainly with parents about practical next steps and steady progress.
Emily uses a direct and respectful style in sessions. She listens first, then helps people notice patterns that cause pain. Together they identify what is working and what to change, and build small, doable skills to try between meetings.
Background and approach
Sessions aim to strengthen coping skills, reduce overwhelm, and support clearer communication at home. Her early training includes a Master of Science in Mental Health Counseling from St. John Fisher College.
After graduating, she worked in outpatient clinics with adults and teenagers coping with anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, and serious mental illness. She later led groups for people with co-occurring mental health and substance use concerns. Emily spent several years providing mental health and substance abuse treatment inside the New York State Department of Corrections and Community Supervision.
That work deepened her understanding of trauma, abandonment, trust, guilt, shame, family dynamics, and parenting challenges. Her background informs a trauma-aware approach to care. In sessions she leans on client-centered listening plus practical methods such as cognitive behavioral and solution-focused techniques.
She encourages clients to try small experiments, track progress, and build on strengths. The goal is clearer choices, fewer old habits, and more confidence in daily parenting and life.

Approaches that guide online sessions
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and understanding each person's experience. The therapist creates space for parents to talk through what matters most, and the work helps people find their own solutions and build on personal strengths.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors link together. In online sessions this often means identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and practicing small changes to reduce anxiety or improve mood and parenting responses.
Trauma-focused work addresses past hurts and their effects on current relationships and parenting. It uses careful, paced steps to process traumatic memories and reduce symptoms such as avoidance, guilt, and distrust.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their goals, needs, and comfort level. Plans are adjusted over time based on what helps most.
Online therapy offers flexibility to fit busy family schedules. Video calls let people work face-to-face without travel, phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text messaging can support quick check-ins or brief coaching between longer sessions. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent while juggling parenting and work.
