About Emily

Emily Wiley is an Ohio Licensed Independent Social Worker (LISW) with three years of clinical experience. She works with adults who are coping with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, trauma and grief. Emily also helps people dealing with parenting strain, sleep and eating disruptions, anger, and broader life changes.

She focuses on practical skills and clear steps people can use between sessions. Emily talks with clients about communication, setting boundaries, and managing strong emotions. She helps people untangle guilt, shame, isolation, and issues around attachment and abandonment.

Her practice includes attention to identity and life roles such as parenting, work, and veteran-related concerns. Emily supports people facing challenges linked to adoption and foster care, intellectual disability, and autism spectrum issues. She also addresses concerns like impulsivity, control issues, and commitment worries.

Sessions aim to help clients notice patterns, try small changes, and build everyday coping strategies. Emily encourages steady progress through repeated practice rather than quick fixes. She uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide problem solving and emotional regulation.

Emily works in English and is based in Ohio. Her work is geared toward individual adults rather than couples, families, children, or teens. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.

How sessions work

Evidence-based approaches and how they fit online

Two common evidence-based techniques used in Emily's work are cognitive-focused strategies and skills-based emotion work. Cognitive-focused strategies help people notice unhelpful thinking patterns and practice alternative ways of thinking; these approaches can help with anxiety, depression, and relationship stress. Skills-based emotion work teaches concrete tools for managing intense feelings like anger, grief, or shame, and it emphasizes exercises people can use between sessions.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Emily will review your goals and preferences and suggest ways of working that match what you want to change. She checks in regularly and adjusts methods so the therapy fits your day-to-day life and the problems you bring to sessions.

Confirm the specific session formats before booking, as the original profile does not list them. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into busy routines, allow shorter check-ins when time is tight, and reduce travel time. They also make it possible to continue work on parenting or relationship concerns from wherever you are, while using the same exercises and pace you would in person.
