About Emily

Emily Sprang is a Licensed Professional Counselor - Mental Health Service Provider (LPC-MHSP) practicing in Tennessee. She focuses on relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related issues, self esteem, and mood challenges such as bipolar. Emily uses an open, curious style to help people name the difficulties they keep returning to and try different ways of responding.

Her approach is collaborative and straightforward. She helps people look beneath repeated patterns and notice how past experiences shape present choices. Sessions often include talking through relationship dynamics, safety after abuse, and ways to manage intense mood swings.

Emily has four years of clinical experience working with adults on issues such as abandonment, attachment problems, body image, and codependency. She also addresses concerns around commitment, communication problems, and recovery from substance use when these affect relationships and day-to-day life.

She is familiar with the needs of people involved in BDSM, kink, and alternative sex cultures and supports direct, nonjudgmental conversations about intimacy. Emily also assists those coping with chronic pain, illness, or disability and the emotional burden those bring.

People looking to begin can expect a practical, steady process. Emily helps clients set clear goals, try new behaviors between sessions, and track what shifts over time.

How her approaches translate to online work

Emily uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on relationships and trauma. One common approach she uses helps people track patterns between past attachment experiences and present relationship choices; this approach clarifies why certain reactions keep repeating and suggests different ways to respond. Another approach emphasizes stabilizing mood and building practical skills to manage intense emotions, which can reduce chaos and make daily life more manageable.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. She will collaborate with each client to identify which techniques fit their goals and preferences. Together they set small, testable goals and adjust methods based on what feels useful and realistic.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the available session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. They also let people continue care while managing appointments around work, medical needs, or other commitments.
