About Emily
Emily Sprang is a Licensed Professional Counselor - Mental Health Service Provider (LPC-MHSP) in Tennessee with four years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing relationship struggles, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related concerns, self-esteem issues, and mood conditions such as bipolar. Sessions focus on understanding patterns and practical steps forward.
Emily helps people who find themselves prioritizing others to their own cost. She listens for patterns like people-pleasing, trouble saying no, or losing sense of self around a partner. Conversations include how past relationships and attachment history shape present choices.
Her approach is direct and curious. She encourages clients to notice recurring behaviors and to test small changes between sessions. Work often includes looking at communication patterns, boundary-setting, and emotional triggers connected to past hurt.
Emily also addresses concerns tied to sexuality and alternative sexual cultures, including BDSM and kink, and the effects of substance use, chronic illness, or family-of-origin problems on relationships. She frames these topics in practical terms so clients can make clearer decisions about their lives.
Sessions aim to be straightforward and focused on concrete skills. Clients leave with specific communication moves, boundary plans, or steps to manage mood swings and distress. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the See online therapy options button.
How sessions work
Evidence-based approaches for relationship and trauma work
Emily uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address relationship patterns and trauma. One approach helps people identify and change unhelpful interaction patterns by focusing on clear communication and boundary-setting. This kind of work suits issues like repeated conflict, people-pleasing, and trouble saying no.Another approach addresses trauma and its effects on mood and intimacy by helping clients notice how past hurt shows up in current relationships. This work often includes managing emotional reactions and practicing small behavioral experiments to test new ways of relating.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work together with the client to choose techniques that match their needs, goals, and comfort level. Decisions about methods are collaborative and may evolve as progress is made.
