Emily Cyburt, LPC

Emily Cyburt is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Pennsylvania with twelve years of experience in outpatient mental health care. She earned a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology and a Master of Science in Community Counseling, and has been licensed in Pennsylvania since 2019 as PA LPC PC011305. In addition to her LPC credential, she is a Nationally Certified Counselor (NCC) - a voluntary national certification that indicates a counselor has met professional standards - and a Certified Personality Disorder Treatment Provider (C-PD), which reflects specialized training to work with people who have personality disorders and to support those affected by someone with a personality disorder.

Emily works primarily with teens, young adults, and middle-aged clients, focusing on anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, relationship and marital difficulties, attachment concerns, communication skills, and boundary setting. Her counseling style is non-Christian based and emphasizes honesty, dedication to the therapeutic process, and collaborative effort. She integrates person-centered listening, cognitive behavioral techniques, psychoeducation, and rational-emotive strategies to build practical coping skills, clarify thinking patterns, and set achievable goals.

She does not treat trauma-related conditions, eating disorders, grief and loss, addiction, obsessive-compulsive disorder, or perinatal-related issues. Emily frames therapy as a team effort that often includes work outside sessions and honest self-reflection. She aims to support and empower individuals ready to take steps toward change and improved well-being.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care with Emily Cyburt

Emily uses client-centered therapy to create a respectful, listening-centered environment where the client leads the conversation and the therapist reflects understanding and empathy - an approach that helps people explore feelings, improve self-awareness, and build confidence in their own choices. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to identify and change unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors through practical skills and between-session exercises, which can be especially helpful for anxiety, panic, and depression. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) focuses on emotional experience and attachment patterns to strengthen relationships and improve communication, making it useful for couples and individuals navigating intimacy and connection issues.

Deciding which approach to use is part of the therapeutic process. Emily collaborates with each person to assess needs, goals, and personal preferences, and she adjusts methods as progress unfolds to find the best fit for the individual or couple. This process is guided by open discussion and mutual decision making.

Online therapy with Emily is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility and easier access to care. These options allow clients to receive consistent support from licensed professionals while fitting therapy into varied schedules and life circumstances.
