About Emma

Emma Cott is a Licensed Clinical Marriage and Family Therapist with 12 years of clinical experience. She speaks plainly and works to create a space where people feel heard. She helps with stress, anxiety, depression, relationships, trauma, and many everyday struggles.

Emma began in community mental health and spent the first part of her career doing crisis intervention. That work shaped how she responds to urgent concerns and complex situations.

Background and approach

Since 2017 she has practiced in personal settings and expanded her focus to longer-term therapy with teens and adults. Her approach blends common-sense strategies and deeper work. She uses client-centered methods to follow what matters most to each person.

She also draws on cognitive behavioral tools to change unhelpful thinking and dialectical behavior skills for emotional regulation. Emma offers trauma-informed methods including EMDR as one option when trauma is part of the picture. She aims to normalize mental health struggles and to help people accept where they are before making change.

Her style is warm and supportive, and she will encourage clients to take steps they want to try. Sessions are practical and goal-oriented. Emma helps with relationship and intimacy concerns, parenting stress, grief, body image, addictions, dissociation, eating and sleeping problems, and career or identity questions.

She also addresses attachment, abandonment, codependency, and issues related to kink and alternative sex culture. Emma works from a collaborative stance. She meets people where they are, offers tools tailored to their goals, and adjusts her plan as progress unfolds.

Online support

How Emma uses evidence-based approaches online

Emma often combines client-centered work with cognitive behavioral techniques and EMDR when trauma is involved. Client-centered work focuses on listening closely and following what matters to the client, helping people name goals and feel respected. Cognitive behavioral work offers concrete tools to spot and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can help with anxiety, depression, and relationship problems. EMDR is used as a trauma-focused option that can help people process distressing memories and reduce their emotional hold.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Emma collaborates with each person to decide what methods fit their goals, comfort level, and life situation. She adjusts the plan over time and mixes methods when that helps progress.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video sessions allow face-to-face connection and visual cues. Phone sessions can be a good fit when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Text and chat offer ongoing support between sessions and work well for people who prefer written communication or need quick access during a busy day.
