Emily Sheely, LCSW

Emily Sheely is a Florida-based licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) who helps people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, addiction, and the effects of trauma and abuse. She aims to create a calm space where people can talk about difficult feelings without feeling judged. Emily emphasizes steady support during the first steps toward change. She speaks English and works from a practical, down-to-earth perspective.

With three years of professional experience, Emily focuses on clear tools and manageable steps. She uses techniques that help people notice unhelpful thoughts and learn new coping skills. Sessions include talking through current problems and practicing strategies that can be used between meetings.

Emily also supports people facing caregiver stress, chronic illness or pain, and challenges related to domestic violence and sexual assault. She has experience with first responder concerns, veteran and armed forces issues, panic and mood disorders, and self-harm thoughts. Her work centers on understanding each person’s situation and tailoring an approach that fits their daily life.

Emily draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and Solution-Focused Therapy to guide her work. She emphasizes collaboration and clear goals, so clients know what to expect from sessions. The aim is steady progress over time rather than quick fixes.

To begin, clients use a Start Therapy button and complete a brief matching questionnaire. Scheduling is arranged according to the therapist’s availability, and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.

How Emily uses practical approaches in online therapy

Emily often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and change patterns that keep them stuck. CBT breaks issues into thoughts, feelings, and actions so clients can try small experiments and notice what shifts.

She also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy techniques to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness skills. DBT-style skills can be useful when feelings are intense or when someone needs steady tools to manage panic or strong moods.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist and client decide collaboratively which techniques to try based on the person’s goals, daily life, and preferences. Plans can change as progress is made and new needs appear.

Session options are not listed in the available biography, so confirm current session formats before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when days are tight. It also makes it possible to practice skills learned in therapy in the settings where they are needed. Licensed professionals can help you determine what will work best for your situation.
