    About Emily

    Emily McClure is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPC, LPCC) based in Ohio. She focuses on helping people get through stress, anxiety, depression, and major life changes. Her manner is warm and practical, aimed at helping clients make small, manageable shifts that add up over time.

    She draws on nearly nine years of experience in community settings and offers a person-centered, flexible style. Emily listens first and then helps clients set realistic goals. She uses motivational interviewing to support motivation and change, and combines that with cognitive behavioral ideas and acceptance and commitment strategies.

    Trauma is considered in her work, and she approaches difficult experiences with sensitivity to how they affect daily life and relationships. Emily also offers faith-based counseling when a client wants that element included, and she respects each person’s own beliefs and boundaries.

    Her practice often centers on practical steps - identifying strengths, trying new behaviors, and tracking small wins. She gives feedback and encouragement along the way and helps clients build skills for coping, self-care, and clearer decision making.

    Emily is only licensed to provide services to people living in Ohio. Before booking, readers should confirm the current session options and scheduling details to make sure they fit their needs.

  2. How Emily Uses Motivational Interviewing, ACT, and CBT Online

    Emily commonly integrates Motivational Interviewing, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) into her work. Motivational Interviewing focuses on exploring a person’s own reasons for change and strengthening motivation through guided conversation, which can help with habits, readiness, and commitment. ACT emphasizes noticing thoughts and feelings without judgment and clarifying values so clients take meaningful actions even when emotions are hard. CBT looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and helps people test and change unhelpful thinking patterns to reduce symptoms and improve day-to-day functioning.

    Finding the right approach is part of the process. Emily will work collaboratively to figure out which strategies fit a person’s goals and preferences. She often blends methods so sessions match what the client needs in the moment and over time.

    The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, and reduce travel time. Therapists can use these approaches effectively in remote sessions by focusing on goal setting, skills practice, and tracking progress between meetings.
