About Emily

Emily Hand is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Tennessee who helps people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, grief, and trauma. She speaks plainly and listens closely to understand what matters most to each person. Her style is compassionate and down-to-earth, with a focus on practical steps people can try between sessions.

Emily has four years of counseling experience and has worked a great deal with substance and behavioral addiction concerns.

Background and approach

She has also supported people dealing with depression, relationship strain, parenting stress, and the effects of physical or emotional trauma. EMDR, or Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, is one of the approaches she uses for trauma-related work. In session she keeps the tone curious and interactive.

Emily avoids stigmatizing labels and treats people with respect and sensitivity. She aims to help clients notice their strengths and build skills that fit their day-to-day lives. Her toolbox includes cognitive behavioral techniques, mindfulness, attachment-oriented ideas, and acceptance-based methods.

Treatment plans are tailored to each person’s needs rather than using a one-size-fits-all script. Emily believes the brain can heal and that change often begins with small steps taken consistently. She works with people who want clear, practical guidance while also being heard and understood.

The focus is on steady progress toward more fulfilling, manageable days.

How Emily’s Approaches Work Online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, stress, and coping with life changes by teaching practical exercises to stay present and act with purpose.

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, known as EMDR, is used for processing memories tied to trauma or abuse. In an online setting Emily guides clients through structured steps to reduce the intensity of traumatic memories while teaching grounding and coping skills.

Emily treats the choice of approach as a collaborative process. She will listen to a person’s goals and preferences and then suggest methods that fit their situation. Together they decide which techniques to try and adjust the plan as progress is made.

Online therapy offers flexibility to fit sessions into busy schedules. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction for in-depth work, phone sessions can fit a break at work or require less bandwidth, and live chat or text messaging can be used for quick check-ins or brief support between sessions. These options make it easier to keep momentum when life gets hectic and to use approaches like ACT and EMDR in a convenient way.
