About Emily

Emily Hill is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people navigate stress, anxiety, relationship struggles, parenting challenges, and changes in life. She brings 28 years of experience to each meeting and aims to create a space where clients feel heard and respected. Her approach is practical and goal-focused, with attention to small, manageable steps toward feeling better.

Emily works with parents, caregivers, and individuals facing issues like self-esteem, isolation, and life purpose. She also supports people dealing with adoption and foster care concerns, caregiver stress, and problems related to autism and intellectual disability. Conversations focus on real-life solutions you can try between sessions.

In sessions she uses practical methods from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy to spot unhelpful thinking and build concrete coping skills. She also draws on Trauma-Focused Therapy when past hurts affect current functioning. Plans are tailored to each person's needs and include timelines for progress when appropriate.

Emily integrates clients' belief systems into therapy when that is meaningful for them, offering guidance from a Christian perspective alongside clinical approaches. The goal is to help people move toward more satisfying daily life and renewed hope.

She practices in New York and conducts work in English. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to availability.

Step 3

Approach-driven online therapy that fits your life

Emily uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, turning small shifts in thinking into practical changes in daily life. Solution-Focused Therapy is another tool she uses to identify concrete goals and build on what already works, often by setting brief, achievable steps toward those goals. When past events continue to cause distress, Trauma-Focused Therapy offers ways to address those memories and reduce their impact on current functioning.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Emily will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals and preferences, adjusting plans as progress is made. The process is practical and goal-oriented, and clients help shape which strategies are used.

The therapist's session formats are not specified here, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, shorten check-ins when needed, or reduce travel time so appointments are simpler to keep. Licensed professionals can use these approaches effectively in remote work, helping clients practice skills and track progress between meetings.
