Emily Schram

Emily Schram is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) with eight years of clinical experience. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, depression, coping with life changes, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, grief, and issues around self-esteem and life purpose. Sessions are conducted in English and she practices from New Mexico.

Emily focuses on practical, skills-based work. She helps people notice how thoughts and behaviors affect mood and relationships. In sessions she teaches coping tools, practices for managing intense emotions, and ways to make clearer decisions about what matters next.

Her approach draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and Solution-Focused Therapy. That means some work looks at patterns of thinking, some focuses on managing distress in the moment, and some concentrates on concrete steps toward short-term goals. She adapts methods together with each person rather than following a single formula.

Emily trained in counseling at the University of Mississippi and holds a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from the University of Memphis. She has experience in outpatient community and private clinic settings since 2013, bringing those practical tools into sessions. Her background includes helping people with body image, fertility concerns, postpartum issues, and life transitions.

People often come to her feeling stuck after a change or unsure what comes next. She works with individuals to clarify options, build manageable skills, and try small experiments that test new directions. To begin, readers are asked to confirm current session options before booking.

How her approaches translate to online work

Emily uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thinking and try different behaviors to change how they feel. CBT works well for anxiety, depression, and practical problems that benefit from step-by-step experiments.

She also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills to teach techniques for managing intense emotions and improving distress tolerance. DBT skills can be useful when strong reactions get in the way of daily functioning or relationships.

Solution-Focused Therapy is part of her toolkit for people who want brief, goal-oriented work that focuses on achievable next steps. This approach concentrates on what is already working and on building short, concrete plans.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. She will discuss client goals, preferences, and challenges and then suggest which methods to try first. That decision is collaborative and can change as needs evolve.

Confirm the current session formats before booking, since the biography does not list them. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Therapists can also use video or audio to teach coping skills, practice role plays, and review homework between meetings.
