About Emily

Emily Standridge is a Pennsylvania-licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) with eight years of clinical experience supporting people facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and relationship challenges.

Background and approach

She centers her practice on the idea that each person knows their own story best and brings existing strengths to the work of change, offering steady support as clients take steps toward greater wellbeing. Emily also assists with issues such as grief, coping with life changes, addiction concerns, and ADHD, as well as intimacy-related and family matters.

Her approach values collaboration and respect for individual goals, helping clients explore patterns, identify priorities, and build practical strategies that fit their lives. Emily’s background includes work across a broad range of concerns, including compassion fatigue, career and money worries, sexual diversity topics such as BDSM and kink, chronic illness and pain, and body image.

She provides care in English and practices in Pennsylvania as indicated by her PA LCSW license CW018671, focusing on empowering clients to move toward more satisfying, manageable daily life.

Evidence-Informed Approaches for Online Care



Emily uses evidence-based techniques that emphasize practical skills and insight. One common approach focuses on building coping and emotion regulation skills to reduce anxiety and manage stress; this involves identifying triggers, practicing specific behavioral and breathing strategies, and developing routines that support stability. Another frequently used method targets trauma and relationship wounds by helping clients track patterns, process difficult experiences at a manageable pace, and develop communication habits that improve connection and boundaries.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Emily works with clients to clarify goals, test different strategies, and adjust the plan depending on what feels most effective and sustainable for the individual. This shared decision-making helps tailor care to personal preferences and changing needs.

Online sessions via video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and daily life. These formats offer flexibility for those juggling work, family, or health constraints and allow ongoing support between appointments when useful. Licensed professionals provide structured, goal-oriented work designed to help clients build skills and move toward their priorities.
