About Emily

Emily Shiers is an LPC based in Mississippi who focuses on helping adults navigate complex life challenges, including parenting concerns, coping with life transitions, anxiety, and compassion fatigue.

Background and approach

With 20 years of clinical experience, she brings steady support to people dealing with mood disorders, substance-related struggles, relationship and family problems, ADHD, trauma and grief, and careers or identity questions. She aims to meet each person with respect, sensitivity, and practical guidance.

Shiers draws on long-term practice working with adults involved in child welfare processes and with individuals who have experienced severe mental health symptoms, applying tailored treatment plans rather than one-size-fits-all solutions. She frames therapy as a collaborative process, adjusting communication and interventions to fit each client’s situation and goals.

Clients can expect an empowering approach that emphasizes strengths, realistic coping strategies, and gradual progress toward clearer priorities and improved day-to-day functioning.

Evidence-Based Approaches and Online Flexibility

Emily uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques tailored to each person’s situation. One common method focuses on skills training for managing mood and anxiety symptoms, teaching practical coping strategies and routines that reduce overwhelm and improve daily functioning. Another approach emphasizes trauma-informed interventions that help process distressing experiences while building resilience and emotional regulation skills.

Deciding which approach fits best is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each client to review goals, preferences, and responses to different strategies, making adjustments over time so treatment stays relevant and effective for the individual’s needs.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, providing flexible ways to engage in care around work and family commitments. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity of support from Mississippi or when travel and scheduling would otherwise be a barrier, while allowing therapists and clients to find the cadence and communication style that work best for progress.
