About Emmaly

Emmaly Diller is a licensed independent social worker (LISW) who uses evidence-based therapies to help people manage stress, anxiety, grief, relationship challenges, and other life disruptions.

Background and approach

With 18 years of clinical experience, she blends structured approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy with acceptance-based and client-centered methods to create practical, personalized strategies. Emmaly emphasizes a collaborative, respectful therapeutic relationship and adapts interventions to each person’s situation and goals.

Her background includes work in medical and mental health settings such as rehabilitation, hospice and palliative care, inpatient mental health, and residential treatment programs for trauma and co-occurring disorders. That range of experience informs her work with concerns including depression, anger, trauma and abuse, parenting challenges, addiction, compassion fatigue, and issues around family of origin and caregiving.

Emmaly’s conversational, warm style aims to support people as they identify values, build coping skills, and make meaningful changes. Based in Ohio, she provides therapy in English and offers multiple session formats to fit different needs and schedules.

Prospective clients begin by completing a short intake and matching process to arrange sessions according to her availability.

Practical Therapeutic Approaches for Online Care



Emmaly integrates cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) into online work to help clients identify unhelpful thinking patterns and develop concrete skills for managing symptoms like anxiety, depression, and anger. CBT-based techniques often involve tracking thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce distress and improve daily functioning. She also incorporates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), which emphasizes clarifying personal values and learning to accept difficult internal experiences while committing to meaningful action; ACT can be useful for grief, life transitions, and persistent stress.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Emmaly partners with each person to explore which strategies fit their goals, preferences, and circumstances, adjusting techniques over time so that therapy remains practical and relevant. The therapeutic plan evolves based on progress and ongoing feedback.

Online therapy with Emmaly offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to fit sessions into busy or changing schedules. These options allow continued access to licensed professionals without the need for travel, and they support continuity of care across different life stages and responsibilities.
