Emily Schram

Emily Schram is a Licensed Professional Counselor with eight years of experience helping people navigate major life shifts. She works one person at a time to reduce anxiety, manage stress, and find clearer footing after loss or big changes. Emily is direct and calm in session and aims to help people feel steadier and more hopeful in daily life.

Emily sees adults and adolescents and uses practical techniques to change unhelpful habits and reactions. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify and reframe patterns of thought and behavior. She also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills for emotion regulation and Solution-Focused Therapy to set small, attainable goals.

Her training includes a master’s degree in counseling from the University of Mississippi and a Bachelor of Arts in psychology from the University of Memphis. She has worked in community and private clinic settings since 2013, bringing experience from outpatient care into each session.

Emily practices in New Mexico and holds the LPC and LPCC credentials listed here. She commonly helps people with depression, panic, grief, trauma, relationship stress, and self-esteem struggles. Divorce and separation is one of the areas she focuses on when clients need support through those transitions.

In sessions she helps clients learn concrete skills, set realistic goals, and try things between meetings. Her style is collaborative and straightforward, with a focus on practical steps that fit everyday life.

How Emily’s approaches translate to online work

Emily commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy to help clients change patterns that cause distress. CBT focuses on identifying thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and practicing new ways of thinking and acting. DBT offers straightforward emotion-regulation and coping skills for intense feelings and relationship strain.

She also uses Solution-Focused Therapy to set small, immediate goals and track progress. That approach is action-oriented and useful when someone wants concrete steps they can try between sessions. Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work, and Emily will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their needs and goals.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the session formats available before booking since formats are not specified in the biography. Online work can make therapy fit into busy days by reducing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins when needed, and making it easier to schedule around work or family commitments. Therapists can adapt CBT and DBT worksheets, skills training, and solution-focused homework for remote sessions so progress continues between meetings.
