“Emma and I have been working for a long time and she’s a very down-to-earth, understanding therapist. She doesn’t make me feel like she expects me to do anything, rather she makes recommendations based on what she knows about my comfort level and my history and personality. She feels like a friend I can talk to about anything, but with the expert, objective perspective that you only get from someone who’s heard about and studied a lot of similar situations. She’s been an extremely valuable resource to me in my treatment for anorexia, anxiety, and depression, and it always makes me feel better to have her to voice my feelings to, because she truly listens and gives great advice. I highly recommend her, both for her skills, attention, and professionalism, and for who she is as a person.”

Getting to know Emma Demar
Hi, I’m Emma Demar, LCSW — aka That Trendy Therapist.
I’m so glad you found your way here. Looking for a therapist can feel overwhelming, and I truly appreciate you taking this step.
I offer warm, virtual therapy across New Jersey and New York from the comfort of your own home. Whether you’re navigating eating disorders, anxiety, postpartum challenges, self-confidence struggles, relationship patterns, depression, or a big life transition — I’m here to support you and help you navigate your journey while making you feel seen and heard.
I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Author of the book The Truth Teller: The Truth Behind Our Masks, podcast host, and former actress (yes, I was on Gossip Girl). I bring a relatable, modern approach to therapy and I incorporate a variety of tools such as the Enneagram, a personality typing system, to help clients gain deeper self-awareness and compassion for themselves and their patterns.
My style blends psychodynamic work (understanding the root of things), CBT, and DBT skills — always tailored to what feels most helpful for you.

Emma has helped me so much (over the past few years) coping with anxiety and overcoming an eating disorder. She is a very special therapist and my life became significantly better after regular sessions with her.

I loved my ~4 years of sessions with Emma. She is compassionate and kind and listens actively. I loved the way she remembered and recalled little details about my life. She was majorly helpful in healing my relationship with food and I absolutely recommend anyone struggling with an ED to work with her.
