About Emily
Emily Schram is an LPC and LPCC with eight years of clinical experience based in New Mexico. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, depression, coping with life changes, grief, self-esteem, trauma and abuse, and LGBT-related concerns. She also addresses relationship and family issues as individual concerns and supports people facing postpartum depression and fertility-related stress.
She uses straightforward, skills-based approaches to help people notice patterns that keep problems going. Typical work includes spotting unhelpful thoughts, trying different coping habits, and practicing new ways to respond to strong emotions. Sessions focus on concrete strategies that can be used between meetings.
Schram trained in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and Solution-Focused Therapy, and she draws on elements of each depending on what a person needs. She frames therapy as a collaborative effort where goals and techniques are checked and adjusted over time. Progress is tracked with clear steps rather than vague promises.
Her background includes a master’s degree in counseling and experience in outpatient community and private clinic settings since 2013. She combines that clinical experience with a practical, short-term focus when appropriate, and a longer-term approach when needed.
People who prefer structured, actionable sessions tend to find this style useful. Schram asks about goals early and uses measurable tasks to help people test new habits. The work often involves homework exercises, skill-building, and regular review of what’s working.
If you want straightforward, skills-focused help for anxiety, mood, or life transitions, she uses clear methods to identify problems and try alternatives in everyday life.
How Emily uses CBT, DBT, and solution-focused work online
Emily commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice patterns of thought and behavior that maintain worry or low mood, then to test small behavior changes to shift those patterns. CBT is practical and task-oriented, which suits problems like anxiety, panic, and depression.She also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills for emotion regulation and distress tolerance. DBT skills teach step-by-step techniques for managing intense feelings and reducing impulsive reactions. Solution-Focused Therapy is used to set concrete, short-term goals and identify small changes that move a person toward those goals.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. She will review goals and try methods that fit a person’s needs and preferences, and then adapt the plan based on what helps. Clients and the therapist check progress and alter strategies as needed.
