About Emily

Emily Schmid is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Virginia with nine years of clinical experience. She helps people cope with stress and anxiety, manage mood concerns, and rebuild self-esteem. She also supports those facing relationship strain, parenting challenges, pregnancy and postpartum transitions, and grief.

Her approach starts with listening. She treats each person as the expert on their own life and looks for strengths to build on. Sessions are practical and grounded, focusing on skills a person can try between meetings.

Background and approach

Emily draws on Attachment-Based Therapy alongside client-centered and cognitive behavioral tools. That combination helps people understand how early patterns influence present relationships and then practice different ways of reacting. She also uses strategies from emotionally-focused and dialectical behavior work when emotion regulation or intense reactions get in the way.

In sessions she offers clear, step-by-step ways to handle overwhelm and improve communication. For new parents she focuses on mood shifts, self-care, and realistic expectations during pregnancy and after childbirth. For those with adoption or foster care histories, caregiver stress, or fertility concerns, she pays attention to how those experiences shape current relationships.

Emily provides care in English and meets with people across Virginia. She emphasizes collaboration, practical tools, and steady support as people move through life changes and challenges.

Online support

Attachment-informed and skills-based care online

Emily uses Attachment-Based Therapy to help people see how early connections shape current relationships and reactions. That work often focuses on recognizing patterns in trust, closeness, and conflict so different choices can be practiced in daily life. She pairs this with Client-Centered Therapy, which centers the client's goals and experience and ensures sessions follow what matters most to the person.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work together with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences. That collaborative planning can include trying a few strategies and adjusting what’s used as progress and needs change.

Online therapy is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video is useful for most conversational work and relationship-focused exercises, while phone calls can be a simpler option that uses less bandwidth. Live chat or text-based messaging can serve as brief check-ins, skill practice, or support between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving schedules, or other commitments and allow consistent access to a licensed professional regardless of travel or location.
