About Emily
Emily Moley is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in New York with 13 years of clinical experience. She works with people facing anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, relationship and family issues, addictions, mood disorders including bipolar, ADHD, and codependency-related concerns.
She approaches therapy in a straightforward way. Emily uses client-centered methods to listen and reflect what matters to each person. She draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thinking and behaviors. She also uses trauma-focused tools and solution-focused ideas to build practical coping skills.
Emily trained at St. John Fisher College, earning a Master of Science in Mental Health Counseling in 2011, and became a New York LMHC in 2014. Early work in outpatient clinics exposed her to anxiety, mood disorders, and co-occurring substance use. That work led to running groups for people with both mental health and addiction concerns.
She spent nearly six years providing mental health and substance abuse care within the New York State Department of Corrections and Community Supervision. That experience shaped her focus on how trauma, abandonment, trust, guilt, shame, and family dynamics affect behavior and relationships.
In sessions she treats people as the experts on their own lives. The therapist's role is to reflect, ask useful questions, and help people try new coping skills. Emily aims to identify strengths, practice skills that replace old patterns, and reduce reliance on negative coping. The work can feel uncomfortable at times, and she plans sessions with that reality in mind.
How sessions work
How Emily’s approaches translate to online work
Emily blends client-centered listening with cognitive behavioral and trauma-focused techniques. Client-Centered Therapy means the session centers on the person's concerns and priorities, with the therapist reflecting and asking questions to help clarify what matters. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on spotting thought patterns and behaviors that keep problems going and practicing concrete alternatives to reduce anxiety or low mood. Trauma-Focused Therapy attends to how past harm affects thoughts, emotions, and relationships, and works on safety, grounding, and practical coping skills.Choosing the right approach is collaborative. Emily will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels tolerable. She adjusts the mix of listening, skill practice, and trauma work based on how someone responds and what they want to change.

In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, shorten check-ins when needed, and allow work that does not require travel. Emily aims to help people build everyday coping skills that can be practiced between sessions and used in real situations.
