Emily Tarantola

Emily Tarantola is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, and major life transitions. She writes in plain, direct ways and focuses on practical steps clients can use right away. Many people contact her about relationship strain, parenting stress, grief, or shifts at work and home. Emily works from Maryland and brings 15 years of experience to each meeting.

Her sessions emphasize a strong working relationship. She meets each person where they are and helps set clear, achievable goals. Emily blends client-centered work with cognitive-behavioral and solution-focused tools to make progress manageable.

In practice she uses mindfulness and trauma-focused techniques when they fit the client's needs. That may mean learning ways to reduce anxious thoughts, practicing grounding skills, or breaking big problems into smaller steps. She also supports people with ADHD, mood disorders, seasonal affective disorder, and issues around self-esteem.

Emily has experience with caregiver stress, communication problems, family concerns, and the loneliness that can follow major life changes. She encourages self-compassion and practical routines that support daily life. Sessions aim to boost coping skills and help clients take the next right step.

To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to Emily's availability. Therapy uses a subscription that can be canceled at any time, and pricing varies with location and therapist availability.

How Emily’s approaches translate to online work

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and building trust. The therapist asks open questions, reflects what the client says, and helps people define their own goals. This approach is useful for clients who want a supportive space to make sense of change.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, teaches practical skills to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It often includes small homework actions, thought records, and step-by-step behavior experiments to reduce anxiety or depressive patterns.

Mindfulness Therapy introduces basic attention and breathing exercises to reduce reactivity and improve mood. These practices can help with stress, anger, seasonal mood shifts, and general coping during life transitions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will collaborate with each person to pick methods that match their goals, needs, and daily routine. That decision can change over time as progress unfolds.

The therapist’s biography does not list which online session formats are offered, so confirm available formats before booking. Online care can make it easier to fit sessions into busy weeks, shorten check-ins when time is limited, or avoid travel when work or parenting schedules are tight. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises, homework, and mindfulness practices so they work in a remote setting.
