Emily Schram

Emily Schram is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, and changes in life. She welcomes adults and adolescents and aims to help them find steadier self-worth and clearer next steps. Her style is direct and practical, focused on building skills that make daily life easier.

She uses tools from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and Solution-Focused Therapy to tailor sessions to each person's needs. That might mean learning ways to manage panic, building new routines after a breakup, or working through body image and self-esteem concerns. Sessions are conversational and goal oriented, with space to process strong feelings.

Emily trained in counseling and has worked in outpatient community and private clinic settings since 2013. She holds a master’s degree in counseling and has practiced across multiple states before relocating to New Mexico. Her background includes helping people with trauma, grief, postpartum changes, and relationship challenges.

In sessions she helps clients identify useful skills and change unhelpful thinking patterns. She also supports people dealing with family of origin issues, fertility concerns, and the stress that comes with major life transitions. The focus is on practical steps and clearer choices.

Emily aims to create a straightforward plan with each person. That plan can include symptom management skills, short-term goals, and checks on progress. She uses plain language and keeps the work focused on what matters most to the client.

How Emily Uses CBT, DBT, and Solution-Focused Work Online

Emily commonly draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, such as patterns that fuel anxiety or low mood. CBT sessions often include simple exercises and step-by-step experiments to test new ways of thinking.

She also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication. DBT skills can be useful for managing panic, strong emotions after loss, or relationship conflicts. Solution-Focused Therapy features brief, goal-centered conversations that highlight strengths and next steps to move toward practical change.

Finding the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to pick methods that fit their needs, goals, and personal preferences. Plans can be adjusted as progress is made and new priorities emerge.
