About Emily
Emily Chavie is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) practicing in Florida with 19 years of clinical experience. She works with adults and young people on concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, grief, addictions, and relationship problems. Emily also focuses on parenting concerns, intimacy-related issues, ADHD, and life purpose as part of her work.
Emily draws on several well-known approaches to help people manage symptoms and make concrete changes. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. She also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills for emotion regulation and distress tolerance. Attachment-based ideas guide conversations about how relationships shape coping and expectations.
Sessions are collaborative and conversational. Emily listens for the patterns that are getting in the way and practices new ways of responding together with the client. She lays out specific skills and worksheets when those tools will help. At times she uses brief, solution-focused techniques to shift a problem quickly and practically.
Her background includes a master’s degree in Marriage and Family Therapy and long experience providing individual, group, couples, and family therapy. The LMFT credential indicates licensure to practice marriage and family therapy in Florida.
Emily frames work around concrete goals like managing mood, reducing anxiety, improving boundaries, or coping with life changes. People who want practical skills alongside reflective conversation often find this approach useful. To start, she asks a few questions to match care and then schedules a first session.
Approaches used in online sessions
Emily often works from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and changing behaviors to reduce symptoms. CBT can help with anxiety, depression, and mood concerns by turning abstract problems into specific skills to practice.She also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills for emotion regulation and distress tolerance. DBT skills teach concrete techniques for managing intense feelings, reducing impulsive reactions, and improving how a person responds to stress. Attachment-based ideas are used to look at how relationships shape expectations and coping in current life.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and how a method feels in practice, and will adjust the plan collaboratively as treatment moves forward.
