LCSW, 13 years of experience
Hello, my name is Emily Barone. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 10+ years of experience. I have worked in various settings such as inpatient rehab, nursing facilities, behavior supports and outpatient counseling. I have a dynamic understanding of the brain and human development. I recognize the strengths and resilience in people that they fail to see in themselves and capitalize that to promote positive changes.
Our first session will include understanding what you are looking for in treatment and outcomes you wish to achieve. A few assessments will be conducted to ensure sessions are directed to your needs. The overall goal is rapport building so you can feel more comfortable in future sessions.
I am trained in various therapy modalities such as CBT, DBT, EMDR, Prolonged Exposure, and motivational interviewing. My goal is to support you in being the best version of yourself and help build a arsenal of coping skills to support you in your day-to-day life as well as difficult situations
If you found your way here you already made the most difficult step which is knowing that you need support. Therapy comes in many different forms whether it is addressing symptoms, coaching through difficult experiences, processing childhood trauma or just needing to feel heard by another person. As a LCSW, I can be all those things for you with the guiding principle of helping you help yourself. Clients who work with me will find inner strengths and implement skills to support current issues like anxiety, depression, anger, trauma, life dissatisfaction or hopelessness.
Utilization of this approach is paramount to a person's success post therapy. Strengths base perspective emphasizes the good and motivating qualities a person possess to promote change
Trained in EMDR in 2016. This approach is used for clients to reprocess trauma with a three pronged approach (past, present and futuristic).
Trained in 2014 and commonly used with clients who are struggling with addiction or overall resistance to the change process.
Person Centered Therapy is a cornerstone to rapport building and developing a therapeutic alliance.
Trained in 2020 and often utilized with those with mood dysregulation and prior to use of EMDR therapy.
