Virtual Mental Health Therapy for children, teens, and adults in NC & FL.

Therapy that helps you grow through life’s ebbs and flows.

Emily McFarland, LCSW

The tides may shift, but you don’t have to lose your footing.

Whether you’re feeling overwhelmed by your own mental health, or trying to support your child through theirs, therapy can help you find steadier ground.

Together, we’ll move towards calmer waters and build strength with every step.

  • You’re constantly in your head, overthinking conversations, decisions, or fixating on worst-case-scenarios. Even when there’s no clear trigger, you feel unsettled. Maybe your mind is constantly racing, or everything feels heavy and numb. Therapy can help you find tools to calm your nervous system, quiet your mind, and reconnect with the present.

  • Maybe you’re moving, navigating changing relationships, graduating, starting a new job, or entering a new phase of parenting. Change can stir up emotions, uncertainty, and questions about who you are and what comes next. Whether you’re stepping into adulthood or learning how to parent in a new way, this is a space to process your experience and find your footing.

  • Old wounds usually don’t just stay in the past. They like to show up in our relationships, our self-talk, and how we see the world around us. If trauma or a hurtful event is still shaping how you move through life, therapy can help you begin to heal in a way that feels safe and supported.

  • Whether seeking therapy for yourself or your child, you may not have a clear diagnosis or reason, just a lingering sense that something is off; and that’s okay. You don’t need to have it all figured out to begin. Therapy is a space to explore what’s going on underneath the surface and rediscover what brings you meaning and ease.

I’m emily.

I aim to provide grounded care in a constantly changing world.

Life has it’s rhythms: moments of calm, waves of overwhelm, and seasons of uncertainty. In therapy, I offer a grounded and compassionate space for you to explore, heal, and grow through it all.

Whether you’re navigating anxiety, depression, stressful life transitions, or just feeling stuck, our work together will be anchored in trust, connection, and your natural capacity for growth.

How I can support

Healing happens when you feel seen & supported.

I find that healing happens best in the context of a safe, nonjudgmental relationship. While I draw from CBT, ACT, and other evidence-based modalities, I focus heavily on building a strong and trusting therapeutic relationship. My work is rooted in connection, collaboration, and empowerment. Technique is important, but growth occurs most naturally when you feel truly heard and supported.

  • Whether you're stuck in your head, feeling down, or simply exhausted by it all, therapy offers you space to make sense of what you're feeling and gain a better understanding of yourself along the way.

  • Growing up, navigating early adulthood, parenting, taking on new roles, and other major life shifts can be overwhelming! We can work together to explore how these changes are impacting you and help you regain a sense of stability.

  • You might be carrying more than you realize. We’ll move at your pace to gently untangle what’s beneath the surface, reconnect with your strengths, and move forward feeling a bit lighter.
