01About Emily
Emily Hand is a Licensed Professional Counselor in Tennessee who helps people manage stress, anxiety, addiction, grief, and relationship concerns. She writes and talks plainly, and aims to make therapy feel understandable and practical for busy parents and caregivers. She focuses on making sessions interactive and down-to-earth.
Emily listens with respect and curiosity, and she avoids stigmatizing labels. Sessions often include gentle tracking of thoughts and feelings, practical skills for coping, and time to process difficult memories.
Background and approach
Her work draws on cognitive behavioral ideas, acceptance and commitment practices, attachment-informed methods, and EMDR when trauma processing is needed. She mixes mindfulness exercises with clear, concrete steps clients can try between sessions. The goal is to find approaches that fit each person’s life and needs.
Emily has four years of professional experience and has worked a great deal with substance and behavioral addiction. She has also supported people dealing with depression, sleep trouble, anger, parenting strain, self-esteem concerns, career stress, and ADHD-related challenges. In the first sessions she helps people set simple goals and plans that feel doable.
She uses conversation, skills practice, and targeted trauma work when appropriate. The emphasis is on steady progress, building everyday coping tools, and recognizing personal strengths.

How therapeutic approaches work online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes. EMDR is a trauma-focused approach that helps process distressing memories through guided bilateral stimulation combined with focused discussion; it is often used when past events continue to cause strong emotional reactions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, CBT, breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical skills to change patterns that cause distress.Choosing the right method is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or has not helped before. Together they try different tools and adjust the plan so it fits day-to-day life and the issues being addressed.
Online therapy offers flexibility in how people connect. Video calls let a therapist see facial cues and hold full sessions. Phone sessions work well when video is not possible or bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging make brief check-ins and skill practice easy between sessions. These options help fit support into work breaks, school schedules, or busy family routines while keeping focus on practical progress and coping skills.
