About Emily
Emily Mayback is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in New York with 13 years of experience in the human services field. She takes a warm, interactive approach and centers sessions on each person's needs. Emily focuses on practical steps people can take to feel steadier in day-to-day life.
She uses client-centered methods to listen first and shape goals around what matters to the client. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps identify patterns of thinking and behavior that get in the way, then tests small changes to see what helps.
Background and approach
Mindfulness techniques are used to build awareness and reduce stress in the moment. Emily also brings motivational interviewing and solution-focused work when people want clear next steps. Those approaches help with making changes related to substance use, parenting challenges, or coping with big life shifts.
Sessions often include short exercises and homework people can try between meetings. Her areas of concern include stress, anxiety, depression, addictions including drug and alcohol issues, grief, trauma and abuse, intimacy concerns, self-esteem problems, career challenges, bipolar disorder, relationship difficulties, and parenting. She frames goals that are doable and tied to a client’s daily life.
Emily communicates regularly during the week and sets boundaries on weekend response times so she can recharge. She welcomes people who want a collaborative, practical approach and who are ready to work on change one step at a time.

How Emily’s Approaches Work Online
Emily uses client-centered therapy to build a simple, respectful working relationship. That means sessions begin with listening to what matters most and shaping goals around the client’s priorities. This approach helps when someone needs a therapist who follows their lead and adapts to their pace.She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes. CBT is practical for anxiety, depression, stress, and parenting challenges because it produces clear steps people can try between sessions. Mindfulness Therapy is used alongside these methods to teach short practices that reduce reactivity and improve focus in daily life.
Finding the right fit is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to decide which approach or mix of approaches matches their goals and preferences. Clients and the therapist check progress and adjust the plan as needed.
Online therapy offers several practical benefits. Video calls let people work face-to-face without traveling. Phone sessions are useful when internet bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day and keep momentum between meetings. These options make regular care more flexible and easier to maintain.
