About Emily
Emily McIver is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Georgia with 19 years of experience. She focuses on anger, addictions, relationship and intimacy-related issues, and stress. Emily also supports people dealing with anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, and compassion fatigue.
She works directly with issues that affect everyday life. That can mean handling outbursts or simmering resentment, repairing communication breakdowns, or coping with changes that upset routines. Sessions aim to clarify what is happening and build small, practical skills to manage reactions and reduce escalations.
Emily uses straightforward, evidence-informed approaches such as cognitive behavioral techniques and mindfulness practices. She also draws on motivational interviewing and solution-focused methods to help people set realistic goals and notice progress. Work in sessions includes identifying unhelpful thinking, practicing new responses, and planning simple experiments between meetings.
Her practice pays particular attention to women’s emotional experiences and the pressures that can affect self-esteem and intimacy. Emily helps people talk through guilt, shame, jealousy, or isolation and find ways to reconnect with what matters to them. The focus is on practical next steps rather than abstract theory.
Sessions are conversational and goal-oriented. Emily aims to help people recognize patterns, learn tools to calm high-intensity feelings, and rebuild trust in relationships with themselves and others. To start, she asks clients to identify one or two manageable goals and then supports steady work toward them.
How Emily uses CBT and mindfulness in remote work
Emily often uses cognitive behavioral techniques to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and test new ways of responding. CBT is practical for anger, anxiety, and low mood because it focuses on changing thinking and behavior patterns that keep problems going.She also brings mindfulness practices into sessions to help people notice rising tension and interrupt automatic reactions. Mindfulness exercises are short and can be used during or between sessions to reduce reactivity and improve presence in conversations.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Emily collaborates with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences. That may mean emphasizing skills practice, brief motivational conversations, or solution-focused steps to achieve specific outcomes.
