Emily Adler, LCSW, LICSW

Emily Adler is a licensed clinical social worker with eight years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and the aftermath of trauma and abuse. She centers sessions on each person’s strengths and priorities. Emily aims to support people as they take small steps toward clearer goals and more stable days.

She uses practical techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy to notice unhelpful thinking and try new behaviors. She blends that with client-centered conversation so people feel heard while they develop plans that fit their life. Solution-focused strategies are used to set short-term goals and track progress between sessions.

Emily has worked with a range of concerns including self-esteem struggles, addictions, grief, sleep problems, and relationship or family tensions. She also offers help around parenting stress, caregiver strain, and challenges tied to adoption, blended families, and neurodiversity concerns such as autism and Asperger Syndrome.

Her background includes addressing complex situations like domestic violence, divorce and separation, codependency, and coping with large-scale disasters. She supports people facing career stress, compassion fatigue, and the ripple effects of commitment or control issues.

Emily holds LCSW and LICSW credentials and practices in Missouri. She approaches the work collaboratively and focuses on practical steps people can try between sessions to build momentum and confidence.
