I am a licensed professional counselor with a masters degree in clinical mental health counseling from the University of Wisconsin Oshkosh. I work with children, adolescents, and adults with a wide array of presenting issues. I spend the majority of my work time working with those who have experienced traumatic events or struggle with emotional regulation. I also find joy in helping people build skills to cope with anxiety or depression, supporting people as they learn and practice implementing boundaries with people around them, and/or working with someone to find purpose and value.
I believe a collaborative therapeutic relationship where we find a way together- each of my therapeutic relationships look different as I personalize my approach and skill set based on what we decide together. I value every person's beliefs, lifestyles, and experiences and often use these things in our discussion around how to instill therapeutic change. My style is very "realist-based" in that we assess what barriers present in your life and create change keeping those in mind. That does not mean those barriers cannot change but they don't always have to create change.
The main theories or approaches I work within are the following: CBT, DBT, Family Systems, Existential, and Person-Centered.
Additional areas of focus: Addictions, LGBT, Relationship issues, Family conflicts, Grief, Intimacy-related issues, Parenting issues, Anger management, Self esteem, Career difficulties, Bipolar disorder, Coaching, Compassion fatigue, Attachment issues, Blended Family Issues, Caregiver issues and stress, Chronic pain illness and disability, Co-morbidity, Codependency, Commitment Issues, Communication problems, Control issues, Disruptive Mood Dysregulation Disorder (DMDD), Divorce and separation, Domestic Violence, Drug and Alcohol Addiction, Emptiness, Forgiveness, Gender Dysphoria, Guilt and shame, Impulsivity, Infidelity, Isolation / loneliness, Life purpose, Midlife crisis, Mood disorders , Panic disorder and panic attacks, Personality Disorders, Postpartum Depression, Post-traumatic stress, Pregnancy and childbirth, Self-Harm, Self-love, Sexual Assault and Abuse, Sexuality, Women's issues, Workplace issues

These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Emily Orser. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with BetterHelp might be different.
Incredible experience!!
