About Emily

Emily Chavie is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) based in Florida with 19 years of clinical experience.

Background and approach

She brings a warm, collaborative stance to therapy and draws on a range of evidence-informed methods to help people navigate mood struggles, anxiety, relationship and family challenges, trauma, and life transitions. Emily emphasizes practical skills alongside emotional exploration to support clients facing depression, bipolar disorder, ADHD, grief, addiction-related concerns, and self-esteem or intimacy-related issues.

Her practice centers on meeting each person where they are and shaping a treatment plan that aligns with individual goals and values. Emily is described as caring, empathic, and open minded, and she blends techniques such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy with attachment-aware and acceptance-based work.

She has provided individual, group, couples, and family therapy over her career and adapts her approach for parenting, postpartum and pregnancy-related concerns, codependency, and other life purpose or shame-focused issues. Clients can expect a respectful, sensitive therapeutic relationship in which Emily partners with them to build coping skills, repair relationships, and pursue meaningful change.

Integrating evidence-based methods into online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people clarify their values and take committed action while learning to accept difficult thoughts and feelings. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, and life transitions where shifting toward meaningful goals matters more than eliminating every uncomfortable emotion. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a structured, skills-based approach that helps identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns to reduce symptoms like depression, anxiety, panic, and problematic coping strategies. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) blends acceptance and change techniques and teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance, interpersonal effectiveness, and mindfulness skills useful for intense emotions and relationship stress.

Finding the right blend of approaches is part of the therapeutic process. Emily collaborates with clients to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress unfolds. This collaborative stance helps ensure therapy remains relevant and practical for each person's situation.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for different schedules and communication styles. These formats make it easier to access consistent care from licensed professionals while balancing work, parenting, or other commitments, and they support ongoing skill practice between appointments.
