About Emily
Emily Cason is an AL LICSW - Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker with three years of clinical experience working in Alabama. She focuses on stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, depression, coping with life changes, addictions, relationship and family concerns, anger, bipolar disorder, and compassion fatigue. She also helps people sort out communication problems and questions about life purpose.
Emily works in a straightforward, person-focused way. She draws on client-centered methods to listen, reflect, and help people name what matters to them. She also uses cognitive behavioral techniques to spot patterns of thinking that make emotions worse and to try practical changes that can help day-to-day.
Her background includes work in hospital settings and community visits to clients' homes. Those experiences shaped how she helps people manage practical stressors along with emotional pain. She has worked with individuals, groups, and families in those roles.
In sessions she often combines skills training and narrative work. That means she helps people identify unhelpful stories they tell themselves and then practice different ways of coping. Mindfulness and dialectical behavior strategies are used to manage strong emotions and improve moment-to-moment responses.
People meet with her to talk through specific concerns like addiction or grief, and to consider bigger questions such as what direction to take next. To begin, the usual first steps are completing a short matching questionnaire and scheduling an initial visit so goals can be discussed.
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-centered work means the therapist listens closely and follows the person's concerns, then reflects and helps prioritize immediate goals. This approach helps when someone is unsure what to tackle first or needs a clear place to begin.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying patterns of thought and behavior that keep stress and low mood going. It uses practical exercises and small behavioral experiments that can be assigned between sessions to test new ways of coping with anxiety or depression.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, offers skills for managing strong emotions and reducing impulsive reactions. These skills are useful when anger, relationship conflict, or mood swings feel overwhelming and the person wants step-by-step techniques to practice.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't helped before, then suggest methods to try. That decision is collaborative and can be adjusted as therapy progresses.
Confirm the exact session formats before booking, since they are not specified here. Online options can make it easier to fit sessions into a weekday break, reduce travel time, or choose shorter check-ins when needed. Licensed professionals often adapt exercises, worksheets, and skill practice to work well in virtual sessions, helping therapy fit into everyday life.
