About Emily
Emily Schram is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) with eight years of clinical experience. She practices in New Mexico and works with adults on stress, anxiety, depression, coping with life changes, relationship concerns, grief, trauma and abuse, and issues around self-esteem and LGBT matters.
Emily uses straightforward, skills-based work. She helps people notice how thoughts and actions interact, learn coping skills, and try small changes that can make daily life easier. Sessions focus on concrete tools and clear goals rather than vague theory.
Her training includes Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and Solution-Focused Therapy. That means sessions may include practical exercises, emotion-regulation strategies, and short-term goal setting to address specific problems such as panic, low mood, or difficulties after a breakup.
Emily also pays attention to body image, family of origin issues, fertility concerns, postpartum depression, and guilt and shame when those come up. She offers a direct, practical style for people who want to work on patterns that keep them stuck and try new ways of coping.
Before moving to New Mexico, she practiced in outpatient community and private clinic settings beginning in 2013. Emily holds a Master’s degree in Counseling from the University of Mississippi and a B.A. in Psychology from the University of Memphis. She uses clear, task-oriented work to help people shape realistic next steps.
How Emily’s approaches translate to online sessions
Emily commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy in simple, practical ways. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with small behavioral changes to reduce anxiety or low mood. DBT teaches skills for managing intense emotions, improving distress tolerance, and handling conflict without escalating.She also draws on Solution-Focused Therapy to set short-term goals and notice what changes help most quickly. Together these approaches give a mix of skill-building and goal work that can be adjusted to what a person needs. Emily treats the choice of approach as a collaborative decision and will help figure out which methods fit someone’s goals and preferences.
The therapist’s biography does not list specific session formats here, so confirm the current online session options before booking. Many people find remote sessions make it easier to fit therapy into a workday, allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, or let them avoid travel time. If you need a quieter session, a shorter meeting, or work around childcare or work breaks, discuss those preferences when scheduling so the session structure supports everyday life.
