About Emily

Emily Baronfeld helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, stress, or low mood. She is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) based in Maine who aims to make first steps feel manageable. Her style is steady and adaptable so people can work at their own pace.

Emily focuses on worries tied to anxiety, panic, trauma and abuse, eating concerns, and depression. She also works with issues around body image, guilt and shame, forgiveness, self-love, and social anxiety.

Background and approach

Sessions are intended to be a calm place to sort through difficult feelings and set small, realistic goals. She uses practical, evidence-informed tools to help people notice unhelpful thinking and try different behaviors. In session she emphasizes skill-building and clearer communication so day-to-day life feels more livable.

People can choose how they want to share - talking, texting, or shorter check-ins are all options. With three years of experience, Emily aims to meet each person where they are. She understands starting therapy can feel daunting, especially after past experiences that didn’t help.

The goal is steady progress rather than quick fixes. Emily offers therapy through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text messaging. She works collaboratively to tailor methods to what a person needs and prefers, keeping the pace and format comfortable.

Practical approaches and online therapy options

Emily draws on evidence-based techniques to help people shift thinking and behavior. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing different actions to reduce anxiety and low mood. This approach is useful for panic, social anxiety, and everyday worry.

She also helps people address trauma-related reactions by stabilizing intense emotions and building skills to manage reminders and distress. That work often centers on grounding, emotion regulation, and gradual steps toward feeling safer in daily life.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the person about goals, preferences, and what feels most comfortable. Together they adjust methods and pace as progress unfolds so the plan stays useful and realistic.

Online therapy offers several practical benefits for this practice. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when more connection is helpful. Phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth or camera use is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging work well for short check-ins, tracking progress, or when writing feels easier than speaking. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy days and to keep continuity between meetings.
