About Emily
Emily Fitzgerald is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in New Jersey who helps people manage stress, anger, anxiety, and mood concerns. She also supports clients dealing with self-esteem, career questions, addiction-related struggles, and grief. Emily writes in a direct, respectful way and encourages small, steady steps toward change.
She uses practical conversations to unpack what is getting in the way day to day. Sessions focus on skills you can try between meetings and on clearer thinking about priorities and values.
Background and approach
Emily aims to make each plan fit the person she is working with rather than using a one-size-fits-all approach. Her background includes five years of clinical work with people facing life transitions, trauma and abuse, and issues related to identity and relationships.
She has spent time helping clients with sleeping and eating concerns, chronic illness and pain, and challenges like impulsivity and mood instability. Those experiences inform how she shapes treatment in short-term and longer-term work. Emily draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy to teach coping skills, emotion regulation, and values-based planning.
She will explain options in plain language and help you test which tools fit your life. Many clients find this hands-on focus useful for improving day-to-day functioning. Emily offers sessions in English and meets with people through video, phone, chat, or messaging.
She asks new clients to complete a brief matching questionnaire to find the right scheduling match and to begin setting goals together.

Evidence-informed approaches you can use online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that match what matters to them. It is often used for anxiety, stress, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and testing new ways of responding to reduce symptoms and improve daily routines. CBT is commonly used for depression, anxiety, and sleep or eating concerns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches practical skills for managing intense emotions, impulsivity, and relationship challenges, with an emphasis on balances like acceptance and change.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or has not helped before. Together they will try methods and adapt them over time so the plan matches the person's needs and life circumstances.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video is helpful for longer, interactive visits; phone calls can be simpler when bandwidth is limited; live chat and messaging are useful for brief check-ins, skill practice, or when a written record helps reflection. These options let people fit therapy into work, caregiving, or other commitments while working with licensed professionals.
