About Emily
Emily Naranjo helps people manage stress and anxiety, navigate relationship challenges, address career concerns, and cope with life changes. She also supports people dealing with attention difficulties such as ADHD and related everyday struggles. Emily is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) based in New York and brings seven years of experience to her work.
Her approach is straightforward and practical. Sessions focus on clear goals and small steps people can use between meetings.
Background and approach
She draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to spot unhelpful patterns and client-centered methods to ensure each person feels heard and respected. Emily also uses psychodynamic ideas to look at recurring themes that shape current choices. When appropriate she employs solution-focused strategies to identify strengths and fast, achievable changes.
This mix helps people who want both immediate tools and deeper understanding. In sessions she prioritizes collaboration. People can expect a balance of listening, reflection, and concrete exercises tailored to their situation.
She explains techniques in plain language and checks in about what works for each person. Emily works with adults facing midlife shifts, career transitions, separation or divorce concerns, and money or workplace stress. She also helps those wrestling with body image, control issues, forgiveness, and questions about life purpose.
Therapy goals are set together and adjusted as progress is made.
How Emily’s approaches translate to online therapy
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and making sure the person feels understood. Online sessions use that same stance so conversations can help people clarify what matters most to them and decide next steps.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts and behaviors keep problems going. In remote sessions CBT is used to spot unhelpful thoughts, try short experiments, and practice workbook-style exercises between meetings to reduce anxiety or improve focus.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work together with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and comfort with different formats. That collaborative decision is revisited as progress is made.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let people use visual cues and practice communication skills. Phone sessions can fit a quick check-in or work better when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging make it easier to send short updates, keep momentum between meetings, or fit therapy into a busy day. These options make it simpler to keep consistent contact and try tools in real time.
