Emily Schram, LPC, LPCC

Emily Schram approaches counseling as a collaborative journey, honoring each person's path toward a more fulfilling life. She works with adolescents and adults to reshape self-perception, build practical coping skills, and strengthen relationships so clients can experience greater peace, hope, and joy.

Emily draws from a range of therapeutic methods, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, solution-focused techniques, and client-centered principles. These approaches are applied flexibly to meet each client where they are and to address concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and family difficulties, trauma and abuse, grief, and self-esteem struggles. She also offers support for body image, postpartum and pregnancy-related issues, polyamory and non-monogamous relationship dynamics, fertility concerns, and other life transitions.

She holds LPC and LPCC credentials - Licensed Professional Counselor and Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor - which indicate formal training and licensure to provide mental health care. Emily emphasizes practical skill-building alongside empathic listening, helping clients identify strengths and implement strategies that support lasting change. Based in New Mexico, she offers a compassionate, goal-oriented approach tailored to each person's needs and preferences.

Therapeutic approaches for online care

Emily uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients recognize and shift unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns; this approach is often used for anxiety, depression, panic, and other mood or stress-related concerns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy offers skills training in emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, which can be especially helpful for intense emotions, relationship challenges, and coping with crisis moments. Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on identifying goals and practical steps toward change, emphasizing clients' strengths and small, achievable progress.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Emily works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods fit best based on their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they track what is helping and adjust the plan as needed.

Online therapy options - including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging - make it easier to access care from home or during a busy day. These formats provide flexibility in scheduling, allow work with licensed professionals across distances within permitted regions, and can support consistent engagement when in-person visits are difficult.
