About Emily
Emily McClure is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPC) and an Ohio Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) with nine years of experience. She focuses on concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, self-esteem, life purpose, and coping with major life changes. Emily also addresses parenting stress, career questions, relationship strain, trauma and abuse, and attention-related challenges like ADHD.
Emily uses clear, practical conversation to help people who feel stuck after a change in work, relationships, or health. She listens first and then suggests steps that can be tried between sessions. Sessions focus on small, doable shifts rather than big promises. Faith-based counseling is available when a client prefers to include spiritual beliefs.
Her approach draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, plus Motivational Interviewing and Solution-Focused techniques. That means she helps clients notice what matters to them, test out different behaviors, and build skills for stress and mood management. She describes her style as flexible and person-centered, aiming to generate practical solutions and give feedback along the way.
Emily has worked in multiple community settings and provides clinical supervision and mentoring to other counselors. She notes the effects that trauma can have on individuals and family systems and uses a trauma-informed lens when relevant. She only provides services to people residing in Ohio.
If a person is considering therapy to explore life purpose, navigate midlife transitions, manage impulsivity or control issues, or rebuild after loss, Emily offers direct, goal-oriented support to examine options and try small changes.
How Emily uses ACT and CBT in remote sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small steps toward those values. In practice this looks like noticing unhelpful thoughts and choosing actions that align with personal priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical skills to reduce anxiety or low mood. Motivational Interviewing supports readiness for change by exploring ambivalence and strengthening motivation.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Emily will collaborate with clients to decide which methods fit their needs and goals. She often blends techniques so sessions can address immediate coping skills and longer term values-based choices together.

They also let people try techniques at home between meetings and bring real-life situations into conversation for practical problem solving.
