About Emily
Emily Vierra is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) practicing in California. She brings 13 years of clinical experience and a direct, compassionate style to sessions. Emily aims to create a respectful space where people can talk about hard things without judgment. She works alongside clients to identify goals and take practical steps forward.
Her background includes work across settings such as outpatient clinics, hospice, and independent practice. She has supported people affected by sexual or physical abuse, domestic violence, and loss. Emily has also worked with foster children and their caregivers, and with youth who have behavioral challenges at home and school.
Emily helps people facing depression, anxiety, stress, trauma, PTSD symptoms, and thoughts of self-harm or harm to others. She also assists with relationship conflict, parenting concerns, anger, and self-esteem and career worries. Her language of care is straightforward and calm, focused on what matters to each person.
She uses an eclectic approach tailored to the individual. Emily draws on methods such as cognitive-behavioral ideas, solution-focused work, family systems perspectives, and client-centered humanistic practices. She adapts techniques to match a person’s needs and goals rather than following a single method.
To begin, Emily asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions based on availability. She notes flexibility in scheduling, including some evening and weekend times, and checks messages several times a day.
