About Emily
Emily Cason is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) based in Alabama. She uses a narrative-informed approach and other practical methods to help people make sense of hard moments. Her style is straightforward and focused on helping people find their strengths and clearer ways forward.
Emily draws on narrative therapy to help people reframe the stories they tell about themselves. She pairs that with client-centered work so sessions stay focused on each person’s priorities.
Background and approach
Cognitive behavioral ideas are used when people want concrete ways to change habits and manage upsetting thoughts. She has three years of clinical experience working with a range of concerns. Common issues she addresses include stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, depression, and coping with life changes.
She also works with addictions, relationship and family concerns, anger, bipolar mood challenges, and compassion fatigue. In sessions Emily aims to be collaborative and practical. She helps people identify small steps that fit into daily life.
Conversations often include exploring communication problems and thinking about life purpose alongside symptom-focused work. Emily offers multiple online formats so people can choose what fits them best. Sessions may use video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging.

Online session options
How narrative and practical methods fit into online therapy
Emily often uses Narrative Therapy to help people name and rewrite the stories that shape their feelings and choices. This approach is useful when someone feels stuck in an identity or pattern that no longer fits. She pairs that with Client-Centered Therapy, which focuses on listening, empathy, and letting each session follow the person's priorities.She may also use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) techniques when a client wants concrete steps to change thoughts and behaviors. CBT helps with problems like anxiety, low mood, and unhelpful habits by teaching skills to test and shift patterns. Together these approaches let sessions balance meaning-making with practical skill building.
Finding the right fit is part of the work. Emily will collaborate with each person to decide which methods suit their goals and preferences. That means adjusting focus over time and choosing whatever tools help a person move forward.
Online therapy offers several practical benefits. Video calls let people have a face-to-face conversation from wherever they are. Phone sessions can be a good option when video would be difficult or bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging work well for brief check-ins, day-to-day coping, or people who prefer typed communication. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and different life rhythms.
