About Emily
Emily Hand is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Tennessee with four years of clinical experience. She works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, grief, parenting challenges, anger, and related concerns. Sessions are conducted in English and she does not take international clients.
Emily focuses on practical, conversational therapy. She uses evidence-informed methods such as cognitive behavioral approaches, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and EMDR to help people notice unhelpful patterns and try different responses. Sessions are interactive and aim to make small, usable changes rather than promise instant fixes.
She has particular experience with substance and behavioral addiction issues and with people who have experienced physical or emotional trauma. Emily also supports clients facing depression, relationship problems, sleep difficulties, low self-esteem, career stress, ADHD, and major life changes. Her background includes grief-focused work and mindfulness-based techniques.
In sessions she listens without labeling and encourages curiosity about what keeps difficult feelings active. Treatment plans are developed collaboratively and adjusted as therapy progresses. Practical tools, skills practice, and targeted interventions such as EMDR are offered where appropriate.
People seeking to manage anger more effectively can expect clear conversation about triggers and patterns, short-term strategies for handling intense moments, and longer-term work on underlying issues. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session.
How her methods translate to online work
Emily commonly draws from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing in her practice. ACT focuses on noticing thoughts and choosing actions that match personal values, which can help with anger driven by avoidance or rumination. EMDR is a structured approach to processing traumatic memories and strong emotions and is often used when past events fuel current reactivity.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Emily will discuss how different methods might fit the issues you bring and adjust the plan as you try techniques together. The aim is to find practical steps that feel doable between sessions as well as in them.
The original biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, shorten travel time, and allow brief check-ins when schedules are tight. Some people find phone-only sessions reduce bandwidth and are easier to use during a break, while video sessions let a therapist and client use visual cues during skill practice. Ask about available formats when you complete the questionnaire so sessions match your needs and daily routine.
