About Emma
Emma Cott is a Licensed Clinical Marriage and Family Therapist (LCMFT) in Kansas with 12 years of experience. She works with adults and adolescents on everyday problems like stress, anxiety, relationship strain, grief, and anger. Emma also addresses issues around identity, sexuality, addiction, and parenting concerns.
She began her career in community mental health, doing crisis intervention for people who were struggling to stay safe. Since 2017 she has practiced in private settings and broadened her work to include couples and family concerns alongside individual therapy. That range means she is used to shifting between short-term problem solving and longer-term work.
Emma uses a blend of practical methods in sessions. She draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify unhelpful thinking and build new habits. She also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills for emotion regulation and distress tolerance. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) and trauma-informed approaches are available for processing past traumatic experiences.
Her approach is straightforward: first accept where things are, then try manageable changes. She encourages clients to set clear goals and practices techniques in and between sessions. Sessions typically focus on what is getting in the way now and on concrete steps to reduce snapping, resentment, or frequent conflict.
Emma works in English and does not take international clients. Cost varies with location and sessions are delivered through a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. To begin, a reader uses the See online therapy options button, completes a short matching questionnaire, and schedules a first session.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building a reliable working relationship. Online sessions can be used to talk through current problems, clarify goals, and try new ways of responding to anger and stress. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thinking and behavior patterns. In remote sessions CBT is often practical - identifying triggers, testing alternative thoughts, and assigning brief between-session exercises. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) emphasizes skills for managing intense emotions and improving communication; DBT work online can include teaching grounding, emotion regulation, and interpersonal effectiveness techniques.Finding the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will help decide which methods fit the client’s goals, needs, and preferences. That choice can change over time, and Emma adapts methods as progress and challenges become clearer.
The original profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around work, family, or school; it can also allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight or sessions without video when bandwidth is limited. These practical benefits help people keep therapy consistent while working toward better ways of handling anger and relationship conflict.
