Emily Altman, LPC

Emily Altman is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Colorado with eight years of experience working with individuals and couples. She focuses on helping people manage stress and anxiety, navigate relationship challenges, process grief and loss, and build motivation, self-esteem, and confidence. Emily also brings experience supporting clients facing career difficulties and a wide range of relational concerns, including attachment and abandonment issues, blended family dynamics, caregiver stress, codependency, and communication or commitment problems.

Emily approaches each person with respect, sensitivity, and compassion and tailors conversation and care to the needs of the individual or couple. She collaborates with clients to create a treatment plan designed around their unique goals, preferences, and life circumstances. Taking the first step toward therapy can take courage, and Emily aims to support clients gently while offering practical strategies and a thoughtful, strengths-based path forward.

She is out of the office on maternity leave starting October 13, 2025 and is not available to new clients at this time. Please note she has indicated a maternity leave from 10/26/2025 to 1/26/2026 and will not be available during that period. Emily is not accepting new clients until her return in 2026.

Evidence-Based Approaches and Remote Care

Emily draws on evidence-based techniques tailored to the concerns clients bring. Skills-focused strategies help people develop practical tools for managing stress, reducing anxiety, and improving coping skills in day-to-day life. Attachment-informed and relational approaches explore patterns in relationships, abandonment concerns, and communication problems to strengthen connection and resolve recurring conflicts. Grief-focused support emphasizes processing loss and developing adaptive routines to navigate transitions and change.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and is decided collaboratively. Emily works with each person to identify goals, test different methods, and adjust the plan based on what feels most helpful given the clients needs, values, and preferences.

Online therapy options - including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging - make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. These formats offer flexibility for scheduling, allow continuity of care across locations within relevant licensing rules, and give clients multiple ways to engage so therapy can match their communication style and daily routine.
