Emily Schram , LPC, LPCC

Emily Schram approaches counseling as a collaborative journey, helping adolescents and adults reshape how they see themselves, build practical skills, and strengthen relationships to find greater hope and satisfaction in daily life. Her work emphasizes realistic coping strategies and relationship-centered growth to address concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, and challenges related to identity and family dynamics.

She uses a range of clinical methods tailored to each person, drawing on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, and client-centered techniques to match interventions to a client’s needs. These approaches support learning new ways of thinking, managing intense emotions, and setting concrete goals for change.

Emily earned a Master’s degree in Counseling from the University of Mississippi and a B.A. in Psychology from the University of Memphis. She brings eight years of experience working in outpatient community and private clinic settings, helping people navigate life transitions, relationship concerns, and complex emotional struggles.

She holds LPC and LPCC credentials - Licensed Professional Counselor and Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor - which are state licensure designations for trained counseling professionals. Emily is based in New Mexico and works with clients on a range of issues including family problems, fertility concerns, postpartum depression, body image, and coping after loss.

Therapeutic approaches for online support and change

Emily often integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy into online work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and habits and replacing them with more effective thinking and behavior - useful for anxiety, depression, and stress. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, helping people manage intense emotions and improve relationships. Solution-Focused Therapy complements these methods by centering short-term goals and practical steps to create change, which can be helpful for clients seeking concrete progress.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Emily works with each person to assess needs, goals, and preferences, then adjusts techniques so therapy fits the individual rather than forcing a single method. That collaboration helps clarify which strategies will be most helpful at different stages of care.

Online sessions with licensed professionals offer flexibility in how therapy takes place - whether by video call, phone session, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, maintain continuity during life changes, and access support from home or other convenient locations.
