More about Emily
- 6 years' experience
- Female
- LPC
I am a clinical counselor with specializations in trauma, mindfulness and art therapy. I have worked with a wide range of individuals from all different backgrounds, ages, and walks of life. I have treated a large spectrum of concerns including depression, anxiety, addiction, relationship issues, career challenges, trauma, grief and loss.
My personal style is tough love with a strong focus in mindfulness. I believe that every person deserves to know their worth and live life confidently in their own identity and purpose. Honesty, respect and compassion are the three values I hold dear and prioritize within my therapeutic alliance. My approach encompasses person centered, psychodynamic, dialectical behavioral, and ACT techniques. Through our interactions I will tailor my approach to best fit your individual needs.
It takes courage amazing courage to take the first step towards change. If you are ready to take that step I am here to support and empower you.
I look forward to working with you!

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.
Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.

She is fantastic!

Very helpful and insightful
Emily is a great listener. She has helped me finally come to terms with some deep trauma from my past life. Emily has helped me come to peace with a part of myself that I needed healing. I am so grateful for Betterhelp allowing me to be counseled through this uncertain time in the world.
Emily is insightful and helps me realize my best self.
I have only met with Emily one time. I was so nervous about virtual counseling but I instantly felt comfortable with her. She listened and responded in a way that made me feel like she was trying (and beginning to) to really understand me. She also assigned "homework" which, as an educator, I appreciated. :) The homework was thoughtful and I am really looking forward to beginning!
Emily has been helping me to feel grounded, especially when I feel like I have no one else to turn to. She is calm and offers ideas and thoughts in a way that makes me feel comforted.
Emily has really been the best support system during my lowest moments this year. I dont think I would have been able to pull myself out of my hole without her help.
Therapy with Emily is SO helpful; she offers plenty of insight as well as space when I need to vent or rave about something. Highly recommend!
I downloaded this app after seeing an ad for it and I was not sure what to expect. After waiting a little less than 24 hours I was paired with Emily. Our first phone call went extremely well and I definitely recommend her! Emily is a well educated professional and in the first 5 minutes of the call I knew she truly has a passion for this field of work. Her knowledge and techniques have brought happiness and peace into my life. I am grateful to have been paired with her as my therapist.
I have been corresponding with Emily Goodyear for a few weeks and I find her to be very understanding and non-judgmental, and her advice is very helpful so far. I would recommend her to anyone needing a counselor.
Emily is kind and helpful. She is understanding and not judgmental. She offers a variety of options and coping mechanisms including journaling, art therapy, information packets and more. I trust her and think she is a great counselor.
Emily is great! Easy to communicate with and hear back from, and our video sessions are a great break in the week and supported by messages between each video session. We are incorporating art therapy and I love it.
