Emily Cyburt

Emily Cyburt is an outpatient mental health therapist who began practicing in 2013 and became a licensed clinician in Pennsylvania in 2019. She holds a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology and a Master of Science in Community Counseling. Emily is a Certified Personality Disorder Treatment Provider (C-PD) and has held the Nationally Certified Counselor credential from the National Board for Certified Counselors since 2018.

With 12 years of clinical experience, Emily works particularly well with teens, young adults, and middle-aged individuals. Her areas of focus include stress, anxiety, depression, low self-esteem and self-confidence, relationship and marital difficulties, attachment styles, communication skills, boundary work, intimacy-related concerns, anger management, family conflicts, and coping with life changes. She does not provide treatment for trauma (including childhood trauma, domestic violence, or abuse), eating disorders, grief and loss, addiction (drug, alcohol, sexual, or gambling), or post-partum depression.

Emily’s counseling style is non-Christian based and characterized by truthfulness and honesty. She believes meaningful change requires dedication to the process, effort between sessions, honest self-reflection, and collaborative work between therapist and client. Her approach integrates person-centered principles, cognitive behavioral strategies, psychoeducational elements, and rational-emotive methods.

In practice, person-centered work means the client leads most of the conversation while the therapist listens closely and reflects back to ensure accurate understanding. Cognitive behavioral techniques emphasize identifying and changing unhelpful thinking patterns through in-session exercises and homework that build practical coping skills to influence thoughts, emotions, and behavior. Psychoeducation helps clients gain a clearer understanding of their mental health challenges, recognize internal and external resources, and identify personal strengths that support recovery and resilience. Rational-emotive work is action-oriented and focuses on addressing irrational beliefs so clients can manage emotions, thoughts, and behaviors in more realistic, healthier ways.

Using these methods, Emily collaborates with clients to create tailored plans and goals aimed at measurable progress. She recognizes the courage it takes to seek help and stands ready to support and empower anyone prepared to take that step. Emily looks forward to working together toward meaningful change.
