Emily Schram is a Licensed Professional Counselor with eight years of experience helping people build stronger self esteem and cope with life’s hard moments. She works with adolescents and adults to rebuild how they see themselves and to find practical skills for day-to-day living. Her approach is straightforward and focused on small, useful changes that make life feel more manageable.
Emily draws on several practical therapies to meet each person where they are. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help identify unhelpful thoughts and change patterns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy techniques help when emotions feel overwhelming and when people need better ways to cope. Solution-Focused Therapy is used to set clear, achievable goals and notice progress quickly.
Emily earned a master’s degree in counseling from the University of Mississippi and a B.A. in psychology from The University of Memphis. She has worked in community and independent outpatient clinics since 2013 and has moved her practice to New Mexico. Her listed credentials include LPC and LPCC, which reflect her professional licensing in the region.
In sessions she focuses on skills people can use right away - coping tools for anxiety and panic, strategies for depression and grief, and concrete steps to improve body image and self-love. She also supports people facing relationship strain, family of origin concerns, fertility or pregnancy-related stress, and trauma recovery.
Emily aims for a calm, respectful pace in therapy and helps clients set realistic goals. She invites people to take small steps toward a life that feels more hopeful and balanced.
How Emily Uses CBT, DBT, and Solution-Focused Work Online
Emily often draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot and change unhelpful thoughts that feed anxiety or low self esteem; CBT uses clear exercises and simple tracking to shift thinking and behavior. Dialectical Behavior Therapy offers skills for managing strong emotions and reducing impulsive reactions, with practice around emotion regulation and grounding techniques. Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on identifying small, achievable goals and noticing progress quickly to build momentum.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Emily will listen to your goals and try methods that feel most useful, adjusting strategies as you go. Many people begin with a mix of skills work and brief goal-setting to see what helps first.
Session logistics and formats should be checked before booking, as the profile does not list specific session types. Online therapy can make it easier to fit work into busy schedules, reduce time spent traveling, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. If you prefer a focus on skills practice, on measurable changes, or on emotion-regulation strategies, Emily can tailor sessions to those aims and help integrate what you learn into daily life.
