About Emma
Emma Catizone is a licensed clinical social worker, LCSW, practicing in New York with 14 years of professional experience. She focuses on family concerns, trauma and abuse, grief, self-esteem, and depression. Emma speaks English and accepts international clients.
She uses straightforward conversation to identify what is causing stress and what keeps problems going. Sessions often look at thoughts, feelings, and everyday habits that make situations worse. She works with people on grief, loss, and rebuilding motivation after difficult events.
Emma also helps with body image concerns, caregiver stress, challenges after divorce, and issues related to domestic violence. She supports people facing life transitions such as midlife changes, end-of-life caregiving, and the stress that follows service in the armed forces. Problems like panic attacks, mood changes, and postpartum depression are also noted areas of focus.
Her approach draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy. That means she combines practical skills for changing unhelpful thoughts, focused listening to understand someone’s experience, and strategies for managing strong emotions and reactions.
People working together with Emma can expect clear goals and practical steps between sessions. She asks about daily routines and helps build small changes that fit into real life. To begin, the process described in her profile directs people to complete a short questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How CBT, DBT, and Client-Centered Work Online
Emma uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and try small behavioral experiments. CBT helps people test beliefs and change routine responses that maintain anxiety, low mood, or avoidance. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on careful listening and reflecting what the person says so they can clarify their own goals and priorities. Dialectical Behavior Therapy provides concrete skills for managing intense emotions, improving distress tolerance, and practicing interpersonal effectiveness.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. She will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs and goals. That means discussing what is useful, adjusting the plan, and teaching practical skills to use between sessions.
The original profile does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to schedule short check-ins, fit therapy around work or caregiving, and avoid travel time. Some people prefer audio-only meetings when bandwidth is limited or to reduce time preparing for a video call, while others like video for face-to-face interaction. Discuss format preferences when you schedule a first session so sessions fit into daily life.
