About Emily

Emily McClure is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPC, LPCC) based in Ohio who focuses on helping people build self-esteem and cope with stressful life changes. She speaks plainly and aims to make the first steps toward therapy less intimidating. Her approach is warm and person-centered, and she encourages small, practical changes that add up over time.

With nine years of experience in community settings, Emily has provided therapy for people managing anxiety, depression, trauma, and relationship or career struggles. She pays close attention to each person’s story before suggesting ways forward. She also serves as a clinical supervisor and mentors other counselors.

Her style draws from several familiar methods, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, along with Motivational Interviewing and Solution-Focused ideas. She uses these tools flexibly, matching techniques to a person’s needs and goals rather than following a strict script.

Emily describes her work as collaborative. She helps clients notice strengths, set realistic goals, and take small actions that support change. She is open to faith-based conversations when requested, and she respects each person’s beliefs.

Emily provides services only to people residing in Ohio. Sessions operate through a subscription that can be canceled at any time, and prospective clients begin by using the continue button on this profile and completing a short matching questionnaire to schedule with her.

How Emily Uses Evidence-Based Approaches Online

Emily commonly draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people clarify what matters to them and take meaningful steps toward those values, even when uncomfortable feelings come up. ACT focuses on noticing thoughts and emotions without getting stuck in them and moving toward chosen goals.

She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and try different behaviors that can change mood and stress levels. CBT is practical and often involves small experiments between sessions to test new ways of responding.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to a person’s goals and preferences, then suggest methods likely to help. If something doesn’t fit, she will adjust strategies together with the client rather than insisting on one method.

Because session formats are not specified here, confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life by reducing travel time and allowing shorter check-ins when needed. It can also help people maintain continuity of care during schedule changes. Licensed professionals can use a mix of tools and exercises adapted to remote sessions to keep progress moving forward.
