About Emily

Emily Chavie is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) practicing in Florida with 19 years of clinical experience.

Background and approach

She draws on a range of evidence-informed methods including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Attachment-Based Therapy, and client-centered approaches to address a wide array of concerns.

Her work has included support for mood disorders such as depression and bipolar symptoms, anxiety and stress, trauma and abuse, addictions, grief, and issues around intimacy and parenting. Emily emphasizes a collaborative, respectful approach that tailors conversations and treatment plans to each person's circumstances.

She aims to help clients move through relationship and family challenges, navigate life transitions, and rebuild self-esteem and coping skills. With experience in individual, group, couples, and family work, she brings an empathic, open-minded stance and focuses on practical tools and meaningful change.

Clients can expect a therapist who prioritizes sensitivity and empowerment, offering guidance to address codependency, guilt and shame, postpartum concerns, self-harm thoughts, and social anxiety among other areas. Emily practices in English and provides services through multiple online session formats to accommodate different needs and schedules.

Evidence-Informed Approaches and Online Care

Emily commonly integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and attachment-informed work. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and developing practical skills to change behaviors and emotional responses, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, and mood regulation. ACT emphasizes values-based action and mindfulness to help people accept difficult emotions while committing to meaningful life directions. Attachment-based work explores relational patterns formed in early relationships and how those patterns affect current connections and emotional needs.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist works with each client to assess needs, goals, and preferences and will adjust methods over time so treatment feels tailored and useful. Clients can expect an open dialogue about which strategies are helping and which might need adaptation.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to attend regular sessions, practice skills between meetings, and maintain continuity of care when life or geography makes in-person visits difficult. Licensed professionals can adapt these approaches effectively in virtual settings to support progress and accessibility.
