Emily Meyers, LPC, LMHC

Emily Meyers is an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) and LMHC (Licensed Mental Health Counselor) practicing in Missouri with 16 years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, addiction, and relationship and family concerns. She also lists codependency among her additional focus areas and supports people dealing with attachment and abandonment issues.

Her approach blends talk therapy with attention to the body's responses. She uses expressive tools and mindfulness alongside traditional methods to help people notice how stress shows up physically. Sessions often focus on learning skills for emotional regulation and building steadier routines around health and relationships.

Clients who feel overwhelmed by intense emotions or who live with chronic illness may find practical tools to reduce reactivity and pace daily life differently. Emily draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people practice new thoughts and behaviors in small steps. She also integrates elements of Dialectical Behavior Therapy and Emotionally-Focused Therapy when helpful.

Work in sessions tends to be direct and grounded. Conversations include identifying patterns, experimenting with adjustments, and practicing concrete coping skills. Emily also emphasizes body-awareness and simple exercises that help regulate the nervous system in the moment.

For someone who keeps putting others first, sessions often focus on noticing people-pleasing patterns, testing small boundary changes, and building a clearer sense of personal priorities. Getting started involves selecting the online therapy option, completing a short matching questionnaire, and scheduling a first session.
