About Emily
Emily Hand is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Tennessee with four years of clinical experience. She works with people coping with stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, grief, parenting concerns, relationship and intimacy-related issues, sleep problems, anger, self-esteem, career questions, depression, life changes, and ADHD.
She aims for practical, interactive sessions that focus on noticing unhelpful thoughts and habits. Sessions are framed around clear goals and small experiments clients can try between meetings. Emily uses questions, reflection, and structured techniques rather than long lectures or vague reassurance.
Her background includes work with substance and behavioral addiction concerns and with people who have experienced physical trauma or emotional abuse. That experience informs how she plans sessions and selects interventions. She also addresses common life stresses such as grief, parenting strain, and career transitions.
Emily commonly draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy approaches alongside Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-based ideas, client-centered methods, mindfulness, and EMDR where appropriate. In practice that can mean identifying thought patterns, trying behavioral experiments, learning grounded mindfulness exercises, and working on relational patterns tied to attachment.
People who choose her can expect clear, step-by-step conversations about goals and progress. She asks for feedback and changes plans when something is not working. New clients are guided through a short intake and goal-setting process at the first session.
How Emily uses structured approaches in remote sessions
Emily commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy in her work. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to see what changes. ACT emphasizes noticing thoughts and values-driven action so people can move toward what matters despite difficult feelings.She also brings attachment-informed ideas into sessions to look at patterns in relationships and how early connections influence present behavior. That approach helps when relationship dynamics, intimacy concerns, or parenting stress are part of the problem. Each approach is described in simple terms and tied to practical exercises that can be done between meetings.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will review goals, try concrete techniques, and ask for feedback to decide which methods fit best. This is a collaborative process where methods are adjusted based on how a person responds.
Session format details were not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. The focus remains on structured tools, measurable steps, and regular review of progress rather than vague discussion.
