About Emily
Emily Chavie is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist practicing in Florida. She brings 19 years of clinical experience and a practical focus to sessions.
Background and approach
Emily aims to create a calm, respectful space where people can talk through problems and make changes that fit their lives. Emily centers conversations on what matters to the person in front of her.
She listens for patterns that cause pain and helps people notice small steps that move them toward their goals. Sessions are grounded and straightforward, with a focus on skills people can use between meetings.
Her work covers a wide range of concerns, including relationship and family issues, mood disorders like depression and bipolar, anxiety and stress, trauma and abuse, grief, addictions, parenting strain, and challenges with self-esteem and intimacy. Emily also addresses codependency, forgiveness, guilt and shame, life purpose, postpartum concerns, and ADHD-related struggles.
Clinically she draws on approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). These methods help with changing unhelpful thoughts, building emotional skills, and clarifying personal values.
Emily describes herself as caring, open-minded, and empathic. She works collaboratively to tailor discussions and plans to each person’s needs.
The goal is steady progress toward clearer choices and a more manageable day-to-day life.
Using evidence-based approaches online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people clarify their values and take small actions that matter to them. It is useful for anxiety, depression, stress, and making life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify unhelpful thoughts and test them with real-world experiments, which can reduce anxiety, depressive thinking, and mood swings. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) builds practical emotional regulation and interpersonal skills, which can help with intense emotions, relationship strain, and impulsive behaviors.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Emily collaborates with each person to pick or blend methods based on goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. That means trying strategies in sessions and adjusting them as progress is made.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions are helpful when bandwidth is limited or a quick check-in fits the day. Live chat and messaging support shorter updates, ongoing coaching, or check-ins between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving, or travel while keeping a steady pace of support.
