About Emily

Emily Naranjo is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) based in New York who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, relationship strains, career challenges, life transitions, and ADHD.

Background and approach

With seven years of clinical experience, she blends practical strategies and thoughtful reflection to help clients find clearer paths forward. Her work often addresses communication breakdowns, trust repair, and emotional connection in relationships as well as concerns related to body image, control issues, and workplace or financial stress.

Emily uses a mix of evidence-informed methods to tailor care to each person’s situation. She draws from client-centered principles to build a respectful, collaborative space, uses cognitive behavioral techniques for skill-building and symptom relief, and integrates psychodynamic and solution-focused ideas to explore deeper patterns and set achievable goals.

Her approach emphasizes partnership and concrete steps so clients feel supported while they pursue change. Emily welcomes those ready to take a first step toward greater satisfaction and clearer priorities in life.

Therapeutic approaches and flexible online care

Client-centered therapy focuses on building a respectful, nonjudgmental relationship so a person feels heard and understood; this approach helps when someone needs support exploring values, making decisions, or strengthening emotional awareness. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) teaches practical tools to identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can be useful for managing anxiety, stress, and specific patterns that interfere with daily functioning. Psychodynamic ideas are sometimes woven in to notice recurring themes and relational patterns that influence current choices and feelings.

Finding the best approach is part of the therapeutic process rather than a single upfront choice. The therapist collaborates with each person to balance symptom-focused techniques and deeper exploration based on individual needs, goals, and preferences. This collaborative stance helps refine the plan as work progresses.

Online sessions are offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it easier to access consistent care without commuting and allow clients to choose the communication style that fits their day-to-day life while working toward their goals.
