About Emily
Emily Adler is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with eight years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, trauma, and family conflict. She emphasizes the person in the room as the expert in their own life and works alongside clients to build on strengths.

Her work addresses a wide range of concerns including depression, self-esteem, addiction, grief, sleep problems, caregiving stress, and relationship communication. She also helps with practical life shifts like parenting challenges, career decisions, and coping with natural or human-caused disaster. Emily supports people dealing with complex backgrounds such as adoption and foster care, blended family issues, and domestic violence effects.
Sessions aim to be collaborative and goal-oriented. Emily prioritizes clear steps and small changes that feel doable between meetings. She encourages people to notice what already works for them and to build on those strengths.
Emily practices in Missouri and offers services in English. To begin, she asks people to complete a brief matching questionnaire so sessions can be scheduled based on mutual fit and availability.
How Emily’s Approaches Translate to Online Support
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person’s own goals and values. In practice this means sessions begin by listening and helping clients decide what matters most to them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, teaches practical skills to notice and change thinking patterns that worsen mood and anxiety, and it is often used for stress, sleep, and relationship worries.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Emily collaborates with each client to pick methods that fit their needs, goals, and comfort level. She adjusts pacing and techniques based on what the person wants to try and what helps them make steady progress.
