About Emily

Emily Fitzgerald is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) practicing in New Jersey who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, ADHD, relationship concerns, and a broad range of mood and life challenges.

Background and approach

She draws on five years of clinical experience to support clients facing grief, trauma, addiction, intimacy issues, and identity-related concerns such as gender dysphoria and LGBT matters. Emily emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and compassion while collaborating with each person to clarify goals and priorities.

Her work blends evidence-based methods to match individual needs, bringing skills for coping with life changes, improving self-esteem, addressing impulsivity, and navigating family or career stressors. She also attends to related areas like chronic illness, body image, parenting, and emotional regulation.

Sessions are personalized rather than one-size-fits-all, with a treatment plan shaped by the client’s specific circumstances and preferences. Emily encourages the courage it takes to begin therapy and aims to make the process practical, focused, and supportive.

Therapeutic approaches and online care



Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients clarify values and take meaningful steps even when difficult thoughts or feelings are present; it is often useful for stress, life transitions, and patterns of avoidance. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and building practical skills to reduce anxiety, depression, and mood symptoms through structured strategies. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness skills that can be helpful for impulsivity, anger, and intense mood swings.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist discusses goals, preferences, and current challenges with each client and adapts methods over time so the work fits personal needs and produces usable skills in everyday life.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which can make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules and to maintain continuity during life changes. These formats allow licensed professionals to deliver structured interventions and supportive coaching while accommodating different communication styles and accessibility needs.
