About Emily

Emily Tarantola brings 15 years of clinical experience to work with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, ADHD, relationship difficulties, trauma, and related concerns. She is identified as MD, LCPC and practices in Maryland.

Background and approach

Emily emphasizes building a strong therapeutic relationship first, meeting clients where they are emotionally and mentally, and supporting individualized goals that help clients make practical changes in daily life.

Her style blends client-centered listening with cognitive behavioral techniques and solution-focused strategies to address a wide range of issues, from mood disorders and grief to parenting challenges and caregiver stress. Emily has worked with children, adolescents, adults, and families from diverse backgrounds, and she draws on trauma-focused and mindfulness-informed ideas when those approaches fit a client’s needs.

She prioritizes collaboration and clear, actionable steps so people feel motivated and empowered throughout therapy. Emily aims to create a supportive space where clients can explore self-esteem, communication problems, isolation, seasonal mood shifts, career transitions, and other life changes.

She encourages practical goal-setting and ongoing adjustment of methods to match each client’s preferences and progress.

Approaches that guide online care

Emily integrates client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy to guide online work. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening, empathy, and building a trusting relationship so clients can explore their needs and set meaningful goals. Cognitive behavioral therapy offers practical tools to identify unhelpful thoughts and develop new behaviors, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, ADHD-related challenges, and mood regulation.

Finding the right approach is treated as a collaborative process. The therapist works with each person to consider their goals, preferences, and life circumstances, adapting techniques over time so the methods fit the client rather than the other way around. This helps ensure sessions remain relevant and effective as progress unfolds.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, and these options are intended to increase flexibility for busy schedules and varying comfort levels. Virtual sessions make it easier to maintain continuity during life transitions or when in-person visits are impractical, while still allowing for structured interventions, supportive listening, and step-by-step skill building.
