About Emmaly
Emmaly Diller is an Ohio independently licensed social worker (LISW) with 18 years of clinical experience. She works with adults on concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, grief, anger, and coping with life changes.
She uses straightforward conversation and practical tools to help people manage strong feelings and everyday struggles. Sessions focus on developing skills to notice thoughts and feelings, try new behaviors, and make values-based choices. Emmaly draws on approaches like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to shape those conversations.
Her background includes medical social work in rehabilitation, hospice, and palliative care, followed by inpatient mental health work and residential treatment for PTSD and co-occurring disorders. She also spent time on a PTSD clinical team at a VA community clinic working with trauma survivors. These roles gave her experience with grief, moral injury, and complicated loss.
Emmaly combines clinical training with long personal life experience. She lived in western Canada and South Africa before settling in the United States, and she credits that history with helping her relate to people from varied backgrounds. Her style is interactive and respectful, concentrating on clear goals and workable steps.

How Emmaly uses evidence-based approaches in online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then taking actions that match what matters most. It can help when anger or avoidance get in the way of day-to-day life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches concrete skills to change unhelpful patterns and reduce distress.Finding the right approach is collaborative. Emmaly will discuss your goals and preferences, then try techniques that fit your situation. If something does not help, she adjusts the approach so sessions stay practical and goal-oriented.
Confirm the session formats before booking since specific online options are not listed in the profile. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and offer a way to continue therapy without travel. A clear plan is set at the start so tools learned in sessions can be practiced between meetings and applied to real-life triggers such as work stress, family conflict, or grief.
