About Emily
LICSW in Massachusetts with 8 years of experience, Emily Pinto helps people manage stress, anxiety, mood concerns, trauma, and life changes. She also supports those facing issues like addiction, ADHD, relationship concerns, parenting strain, grief, and career stress.
Emily splits her time between school counseling during the day and outpatient work. She has worked with a wide age range, from preschool age through older adults, in past outpatient settings. Her approach is practical and straightforward: she listens, helps people identify what feels most difficult, and works with them on steps they can take between sessions.
Sessions focus on concrete skills and problem solving as well as talking through past experiences that continue to affect daily life. Emily aims to help clients notice patterns in thoughts and behavior and to practice different ways of responding. She uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to reduce distress and build coping strategies.
Her work with parenting and intimacy-related issues centers on improving communication and managing intense emotions. For people dealing with grief or career stress, she helps set short, manageable goals and track small changes over time. With mood disorders such as bipolar disorder or depression, the emphasis is on regular routines, symptom tracking, and practical supports.
Emily offers sessions in English and does not accept international clients. Sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time. To begin, a short matching questionnaire is completed and a first session is scheduled through the site.

How Emily uses evidence-based techniques in remote sessions
Emily works with evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on skills and behavior change. One approach emphasizes identifying and changing patterns of thought and behavior to reduce anxiety and depression; this involves tracking thoughts, testing assumptions, and practicing alternative responses. Another approach centers on coping skills for trauma and stress, teaching grounding, distress-tolerance strategies, and ways to reduce reactivity in emotionally charged moments.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Emily treats approach selection as collaborative: she will talk with the client about goals, try methods, and adjust based on what helps most. That joint process continues over the first few sessions to shape a plan that fits the client's needs and preferences.
If you are interested in remote work, confirm the session formats directly before booking since formats are not specified here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. They can also let people who live far from a clinician or who have limited time connect with a licensed professional more easily.
