My Approach to Helping
My name is Emily Tarby and I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor based in Columbia, Missouri working with clients from all over the state via telehealth. I like working with underrepresented populations and young adults, and specialize in anxiety, life transitions, relationship issues, career concerns, stress, and more! I primarily use Person-Centered, Cognitive Behavioral, and Acceptance & Commitment techniques to help clients reach their goals.
My therapeutic approach is integrative & eclectic. I draw from a range of theoretical perspectives to best meet the needs of each client. Along with CBT and ACT, I often incorporate elements of Mindfulness, Existentialism, Narrative, and Family Systems therapy and will use other theories and techniques when appropriate. This flexibility allows me to tailor my approach to each client's unique experience and encourage change in a way that works for them.
