Emily Adams

Hi, I’m Emily, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with a Master’s degree in Social Work from the University of South Florida. Since graduating in 2019, I’ve had the privilege of working with a wide range of people — from busy professionals and veterans to children and families — all navigating life’s challenges in their own way.

Over the years, I’ve helped clients manage anxiety, depression, addiction, burnout, and work-related stress. But where I feel most connected and effective is in supporting people through anxiety and trauma. Whether it’s navigating constant overthinking, feeling stuck in survival mode, or carrying the weight of past experiences, I bring a calm, compassionate presence and evidence-based tools to help you get unstuck and feel more in control.

Therapy with me is real, supportive, and collaborative. I pull from approaches like CBT, DBT, CPT, Seeking Safety, and Schema Therapy, but I always tailor our sessions to what works best for you. I believe therapy should be a space where you feel truly heard — not judged — and where you can explore how your past experiences and current stressors are impacting your life.

Like many of my clients, I know what it’s like to juggle responsibilities, second-guess yourself, and feel like you’re always running on empty. That lived experience helps me approach my work with empathy and a practical, down-to-earth mindset. I’m here to help you slow down, gain insight, and build a life that feels more balanced and authentic — not just for today, but for the long run.

In sessions with me, you can expect a relaxed, supportive space that feels more like a conversation than a clinical appointment. I take an easygoing approach — think of it like talking to a friend who isn’t afraid to gently challenge the beliefs that might be holding you back. I’ll always meet you where you are, whether you need someone to help you slow down and explore your emotions, or someone to give you a bit of a push when you're ready to grow.

I often use homework between sessions — but don’t worry, it’s not all worksheets! I tailor these assignments to fit your lifestyle and learning style, so they actually feel useful (and doable). The goal is to help you build skills, gain insight, and make meaningful changes in your life at a pace that works for you. Therapy with me is collaborative, practical, and grounded in your real-world experience — because you deserve support that fits you, not the other way around.
