About Emily
Emily Keehn is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who focuses on practical support for adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, and life transitions. She brings four years of clinical experience and aims to help people find clearer ways to cope and move forward. Her style is calm and direct, with an emphasis on respectful, collaborative work.
Emily centers sessions on building a strong working relationship. She listens closely, helps clients set realistic goals, and uses straightforward strategies to address day-to-day struggles.
Background and approach
Sessions are conversational and goal-focused rather than lecture-like. Her work blends skill-building with attention to values and meaning. Clients commonly learn coping skills for emotional regulation, tools to manage unhelpful thoughts, and ways to act in line with what matters to them.
Practical exercises and real-life planning often happen between sessions. Emily also helps people dealing with caregiver stress, chronic illness or pain, addictions, career strain, and complex feelings like guilt or shame. She pays attention to overlapping challenges that complicate recovery, such as co-morbidity and life stressors, and tailors strategies to fit each person’s situation.
Sessions use plain language and follow a collaborative pace. Emily aims to help people feel more capable of handling hard moments and making steady progress toward their goals.

Online support
Online approaches that match your goals
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take meaningful action even when emotions are difficult. It focuses on values, committed action, and learning to live with uncomfortable thoughts rather than getting rid of them.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a hands-on approach that looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact. It helps people identify unhelpful thinking patterns and practice concrete strategies to change behaviors and reduce distress.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, interpersonal effectiveness, and mindfulness skills. It can be useful for intense emotions, impulsivity, and improving communication during conflict.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, try techniques together, and adjust methods based on what helps most. Clients are invited to share preferences and feedback so the plan fits their life and needs.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions work when bandwidth is limited or a quieter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging let people send short updates, handle quick concerns, or fit sessions around busy schedules. These options make it easier to keep consistent work on goals without traveling to appointments.
