About Emily
Emily Chavie is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) practicing in Florida with 19 years of experience. She focuses on relationship and family concerns as well as mood and stress-related issues. Emily draws on practical therapy tools to help people manage anxiety, depression, grief, and the everyday strain of parenting and life changes.
She works in a straightforward, compassionate way and adapts sessions to each person's needs. Conversations are collaborative and aimed at building skills people can use outside of sessions. Emily aims to help clients notice patterns, increase self-compassion, and make changes that fit their lives.
Her background includes a master’s degree in marriage and family therapy and nearly two decades of clinical practice. Over the years she has supported people facing trauma and abuse, bipolar and mood disorders, addiction concerns, postpartum and pregnancy-related challenges, and struggles with self-harm and shame.
Emily uses a mix of approaches such as cognitive behavioral techniques, dialectical behavior tools, attachment-focused ideas, acceptance and commitment methods, and client-centered listening. She tailors those approaches to fit the problem at hand and the person in the room.
People who tend to find her helpful are looking for practical strategies and steady emotional support. She is described as caring, open-minded, and empathic, and she works directly with clients to set goals and track progress. Clients who want to explore codependency and family problems can expect a respectful, goal-oriented process.
How therapeutic approaches guide online work
Emily uses cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) in ways that translate well to remote conversations. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and trying new behaviors to change how people feel. It can help with anxiety, depression, stress, and mood challenges. ACT emphasizes values and actions - helping people notice thoughts without getting stuck and take steps toward a meaningful life.She also draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how early patterns affect current relationships. That work helps people understand intimacy problems, codependency, and patterns in family relationships. Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process; the therapist will work with each person to match methods to their goals, preferences, and life circumstances.
If you plan to do online sessions, confirm the specific session formats before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, reduce travel time, and allow brief check-ins when schedules are tight. It also supports using homework between sessions, practicing skills in daily life, and keeping momentum on healing without needing to rearrange a full day.
