About Emily Moley

Emily Moley is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) based in New York who brings a decade-plus of clinical experience working with individuals and families facing stress, anxiety, relationship challenges, trauma, substance use, and mood disorders. She earned a Master of Science in Mental Health Counseling from St. John Fisher College in Rochester, NY in May 2011 and went on to practice as a primary therapist in an outpatient mental health clinic, supporting men, women, and teenagers with conditions such as anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, and schizophrenia.

Emily became a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in New York in 2014 and later facilitated a group for people with co-occurring mental health and substance use disorders, which helped shape a significant portion of her clinical focus. In February 2015 she joined the New York State Department of Corrections and Community Supervision to provide mental health and substance abuse treatment services to incarcerated individuals. After almost six years in that role, she gained a deep appreciation for how trauma and abuse can influence issues of abandonment, trust, guilt, shame, family dynamics, and parenting.

Her therapeutic approach is rooted in the belief that clients already hold many of the answers to their challenges. Rather than directing clients, Emily creates a respectful, supportive environment that helps people uncover solutions, identify strengths, and develop healthier coping skills. She emphasizes working through discomfort as a necessary part of growth and aims to help clients build practical strategies to replace patterns that no longer serve them. Emily looks forward to supporting clients on a thoughtful path toward self-discovery and lasting change.

Integrating Therapeutic Approaches in Online Care

Emily often draws on client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and trauma-focused methods to tailor work for each person. Client-centered therapy emphasizes a respectful, non-judgmental relationship where the therapist listens and supports clients as they explore their values, identity, and goals - a helpful fit for issues like self-esteem, relationship concerns, and parenting struggles.

CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and developing concrete skills to manage anxiety, depression, impulsivity, or patterns that contribute to substance use. Trauma-focused approaches concentrate on helping people process past hurts and the emotional impacts of abuse, abandonment, and trust wounds, with attention to coping strategies for triggers and mood regulation.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Emily works collaboratively with clients and licensed professionals to determine which methods best match a person’s needs, goals, and preferences, and she adjusts strategies as progress unfolds. Online therapy offers practical flexibility - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging make it easier to fit care into daily life and maintain continuity of treatment with therapists regardless of schedule or location. This versatility supports consistent work on goals and access to professional support when it matters most.
