Emily ChavieLMFT

Emily Chavie is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) practicing in Florida with 19 years of clinical experience. She offers calm, straightforward care for people facing relationship strain, mood concerns, and life transitions. Emily focuses on practical steps and steady support rather than clinical jargon.

Emily uses familiar, skills-based methods like cognitive behavioral strategies, dialectical behavior techniques, and attachment-informed thinking. Sessions center on clear goals and hands-on tools for stress, anxiety, depression, bipolar mood shifts, and anger. She also addresses parenting concerns, pregnancy and childbirth related stresses, postpartum depression, and grief with sensitivity.

Her style is warm and collaborative. She listens first, then helps you try small changes that fit your life. Conversations are tailored to each person’s situation instead of a one-size-fits-all plan.

Emily brings experience with addiction issues, ADHD, codependency, and intimacy-related challenges. She supports people working through guilt, shame, forgiveness, and questions about life purpose. When needed she incorporates mindfulness and acceptance practices to reduce reactivity and increase focus on values.

Therapy sessions often include skill practice, real-life problem solving, and checking progress over time. Emily aims to help people build coping skills, strengthen important relationships, and move toward clearer goals. If you want a practical, empathetic approach in Florida, she provides informed, steady guidance.

Approaches that guide online sessions and goals

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice unhelpful thoughts without getting stuck in them and then take small actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, and when life changes make decisions feel hard. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on changing patterns of thinking and behavior through practical exercises and homework to reduce symptoms like worry or low mood. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns shape current bonds and helps people build more secure connections in relationships and parenting.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to pick methods that match their goals and preferences. Sessions usually begin with a clear plan and check-ins to see what’s helping and what needs adjusting.

Confirm the session formats available before booking so you know what options exist. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It also lets clients practice skills between sessions in the settings where they live and parent. Emily uses these approaches to help people translate therapy into everyday changes, working together to set achievable steps and track progress.
