About Emily
Emily Sheely, LCSW, focuses on helping people who feel overwhelmed by stress and anxiety. She supports those dealing with depression, trauma, and challenges like addictions. Emily aims to create a nonjudgmental space where people can speak openly about thoughts and feelings. She emphasizes practical steps and steady support for anyone ready to try something different.
Emily is a licensed clinical social worker in Florida with three years of professional experience. In sessions she uses straightforward methods to help manage symptoms and build everyday coping skills. She often draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot unhelpful thinking patterns and on Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills for emotion regulation and distress tolerance.
She also uses Solution-Focused Therapy to set short-term goals and track small changes that matter. Emily works with people facing a range of concerns, including caregiver stress, chronic illness or pain, first responder and veteran issues, social anxiety, post-traumatic stress, and panic disorder and panic attacks.
Her approach is collaborative and practical. Emily helps people identify one or two small, achievable steps between sessions. She encourages regular check-ins on progress and adjusts strategies to fit each person’s life.
If someone is thinking about starting therapy, Emily asks them to consider what they most want to change. She then helps build a manageable plan and supports people as they try new skills in everyday situations.
How these approaches guide online therapy
Emily commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which focuses on noticing unhelpful thoughts and testing new ways of thinking and behaving to reduce anxiety and panic. She also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness for moments of high stress.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. From there she will suggest techniques and adjust the plan so it fits daily life and immediate needs.
If you are interested in online work, confirm the current session options before booking since formats are not listed here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time so people can use breaks or even brief windows during the day. The focus remains on practical tools and small, measurable steps that can be practiced between meetings to reduce panic symptoms and improve coping.
