Emily Gallagher, LISW

Emily Gallagher is an Ohio-licensed clinician with 18 years of experience helping women, couples, and parents navigate trauma, anxiety, and relationship challenges. As a LISW - Licensed Independent Social Worker, she blends empathic listening with practical, evidence-informed strategies to examine how past experiences shape present difficulties at home, work, and in intimate relationships. Emily has extensive experience supporting couples through long-standing struggles and helping partners rediscover connection and hope, and she also provides focused individual work with women experiencing heightened anxiety.

Her practice addresses a wide range of concerns including depression, grief, parenting stress, ADHD, bipolar symptoms, and major life transitions. She also works with families on issues related to adoption and foster care, blended household dynamics, caregiver strain, codependency, and family-of-origin wounds. Emily’s style integrates client-centered care alongside structured techniques to tailor treatment to each person or couple’s needs.

Emily maintains daytime availability for video or chat sessions on Wednesdays and Thursdays; prospective clients whose schedules do not align are encouraged to match with another therapist. She is based in Ohio, is married, and has four school-aged children. Emily responds to messages within 24 hours and accepts appointments by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. She does not accept international clients.
