“Ms. Em made me feel so at ease when we spoke because I had anxiety when I wanted to reach out.
I am so happy that she was the person I was able to speak to. I am hoping to make great strides with my time with her.
I highly recommend her to anyone, as long as they don't take time away from me. ”

“Working with Em has been a really positive experience. They create a space where I feel comfortable, heard, and never judged. They’re compassionate but also ask thoughtful questions that have helped me understand myself and my patterns in a new way. I especially appreciate that our sessions leave me with practical things I can work on between appointments. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a supportive and insightful therapist.”

Getting to know Emily Gonzalez
Feeling anxious, depressed, overwhelmed, or stuck can affect your relationships, work, sleep, confidence, and ability to enjoy daily life. Emily Gonzalez, MA, offers compassionate online therapy for teens, young adults, and adults seeking practical support, greater self-understanding, and meaningful change.
Emily works with clients experiencing anxiety, excessive worry, depression, stress, burnout, grief and loss, loneliness, low self-esteem, perfectionism, boundary difficulties, relationship struggles, sleep problems, and major life transitions. She also supports young people navigating school pressure, bullying, identity development, family concerns, social anxiety, and the transition into adulthood.
Her therapeutic style is warm, collaborative, culturally sensitive, and tailored to the individual. Emily draws from cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), person-centered therapy, existential therapy, and solution-focused brief therapy. Treatment may involve recognizing unhelpful thought and behavior patterns, strengthening coping and communication skills, improving emotional awareness, setting healthier boundaries, and identifying realistic steps toward personal goals.
Emily earned her master’s degree in counseling and community psychology from Russell Sage College in Troy, New York. Through New Horizons Therapy NY, she provides convenient virtual psychotherapy and mental health counseling to clients located throughout New York.
Whether you are starting therapy for the first time or returning during a difficult period, Emily offers a respectful, nonjudgmental environment where you can speak openly and move forward at a manageable pace. She is currently accepting new clients for online therapy.
What should a new client know about working with you?
Starting therapy can feel unfamiliar, especially when you are already anxious, overwhelmed, or unsure how to explain what you are experiencing. You do not need to arrive with the right words or a fully formed goal. My first priority is helping you feel comfortable, respected, and genuinely heard.
My style is warm, collaborative, and engaged. I will listen carefully while also helping you identify patterns, consider new perspectives, and develop practical strategies for daily life. Therapy with me is personalized rather than one-size-fits-all. Depending on your needs, I may incorporate cognitive behavioral therapy, person-centered therapy, existential therapy, and solution-focused techniques.
I work with concerns such as anxiety, depression, excessive worry, stress, burnout, low self-esteem, perfectionism, grief, loneliness, relationship difficulties, boundary issues, sleep problems, school or work pressure, and life transitions. We may focus on strengthening coping skills, improving communication, managing emotions, building confidence, setting healthier boundaries, or making decisions that better reflect your values.
I believe therapy works best when it feels like a genuine partnership. We will move at a pace that feels manageable, regularly discuss what is or is not helping, and keep our work connected to the changes you want to see outside of sessions.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
During our initial psychotherapy session, we will discuss what brought you to therapy, how your concerns are affecting your daily life, and what you hope will be different. We may review current symptoms and stressors, important relationships, personal history, strengths, coping strategies, and any previous experiences with counseling. You will also have time to ask questions and decide whether my approach feels like a good fit.
Together, we will identify your priorities and create clear, realistic treatment goals. Because every client is different, I tailor therapy to your needs rather than following a fixed formula. Our sessions may explore recurring thoughts, emotions, behaviors, relationship patterns, life transitions, or experiences contributing to anxiety, depression, stress, low self-esteem, sleep difficulties, or feeling stuck.
Depending on your goals, I may use cognitive behavioral therapy to examine connections among thoughts, emotions, and behaviors; person-centered therapy to support insight and self-acceptance; existential approaches to explore meaning, values, and choices; or solution-focused strategies to build on strengths and identify achievable next steps.
Ongoing therapy may include practicing coping, communication, emotional regulation, problem-solving, or boundary-setting skills. We will regularly review your progress, discuss what has been most useful, and adjust treatment as your needs and goals evolve.
