Getting to know Emerson Kelby

I work with children, teens and adults, individually and in couples, who feel stretched too thin, exhausted, or overwhelmed by life, caregiving, or grief. If you are the one everyone relies on, I help you navigate burnout, anxiety, and life transitions with practical, supportive therapy. As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with hospice and medical experience, I guide clients through anticipatory grief, chronic illness in the family, and the emotional weight of caring for others. Telehealth sessions are available, and I accept insurance through Headway for seamless billing, as well as private pay options for a higher level of privacy.

What should a new client know about working with you?

Working together, my goal is to create a space where you feel heard, supported, and understood. I help children, teens and adults, individually and in couples, navigate burnout, grief, anxiety, depression and life transitions in a way that feels practical and manageable. I tailor sessions to your needs, and we’ll work at a pace that feels right for you. Telehealth sessions make it easy to connect from wherever you are. My approach is collaborative, compassionate, and focused on helping you feel more grounded and capable in your daily life.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

When we start working together, I’ll first spend time understanding your concerns, goals, and what feels most important to you right now. Together, we’ll create a plan that fits your life and your needs, whether that’s exploring patterns, developing coping strategies, or navigating difficult emotions. Sessions are collaborative and paced to you, with practical tools you can use between meetings. I tailor my approach for children, teens and adults, individually and in couples, so each session focuses on what matters most to you.
