About Emily
Emily McIver is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and Clinical Social Worker (CSW) practicing in Georgia with 19 years of experience. She works with adults who are dealing with anger, relationship strain, addiction, anxiety, depression, and major life changes. Sessions are focused and practical, aimed at reducing reactivity and improving day-to-day functioning.
Her style is straightforward and collaborative. She uses tools from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Motivational Interviewing to identify patterns that keep people stuck. Mindfulness techniques are offered to help lower immediate stress and to increase awareness of physical and emotional signals.
Emily also uses solution-focused approaches to set clear, achievable steps toward better communication and self-management. She helps people practice new responses to common triggers, like snapping at loved ones or feeling overwhelmed at work. The work often includes short skill-building exercises to try between sessions.
Her background centers on issues that commonly sit alongside anger, such as shame, guilt, intimacy difficulties, and the fallout from addiction. She pays attention to how isolation and low self-esteem feed into repeated conflicts. The aim is improved choices and clearer boundaries rather than quick fixes.
Sessions are conducted in English. Costs vary by location and use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. Prospective clients choose an online therapy options button, complete a short questionnaire, and schedule an initial appointment to begin.
How sessions work
Therapeutic approaches used in online sessions
Emily commonly draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and replacing them with more constructive options. It is useful for reducing reactive patterns and managing anger-driven actions.Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce immediate stress and increase awareness of emotional and bodily signals. These techniques can help someone pause before responding and notice triggers earlier.
Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to test approaches and adjust based on what helps most. Goals, preferences, and everyday challenges guide which tools are emphasized.
