About
Emily Dove, MD, LCSW-C, LCSW is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who supports adults navigating anxiety, depression, eating and food-related concerns, relationship and family challenges, and the weight of everyday stress. She understands that reaching out for therapy can feel intimidating, so she aims to offer a welcoming, down-to-earth environment that feels supportive and genuine rather than overly clinical.
Her work is collaborative and shaped around each client’s needs, goals, and pace. She draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), to help people recognize unhelpful patterns, build practical coping skills, and move toward meaningful change. She is also EMDR certified and has experience helping clients process trauma and other difficult life experiences.
Clients may come to therapy feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure where to begin. Emily’s focus is on helping clients feel understood while developing tools that can translate into daily life, especially around stress, communication problems, attachment issues, codependency, body image, guilt and shame, and obsessive or compulsive patterns.

Evidence-Based Approaches, Made Accessible Online
Emily Dove uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help adults work through concerns such as anxiety, depression, eating and food-related issues, relationship stress, and feeling overwhelmed.CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy) focuses on noticing patterns in thoughts and behaviors and practicing new responses that better support day-to-day functioning. It can be especially helpful when worry, self-criticism, or avoidance keeps life feeling smaller than it needs to be. DBT (Dialectical Behavior Therapy) adds practical skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and communication, which can support clients dealing with intense emotions or recurring relationship conflict. ACT (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy) emphasizes clarifying values and taking meaningful steps forward, even when difficult thoughts or feelings show up.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Emily works collaboratively with clients to choose strategies that fit their goals, preferences, and what feels most useful, adjusting along the way as needs change.
