Emily Vanichtheeranont, Clinical Intern

There are moments in life that can feel difficult and destabilizing, and beginning therapy can feel like a daunting task. As your therapist, I care about creating a space where you feel safe and supported to show up as your most authentic self. My role is not to tell you who to be or what to do, but to walk beside you as you move toward what truly matters to you.

I am currently a mental health therapist intern and will be graduating from Illinois Institute of Technology’s Clinical Mental Health Counseling program in the spring. I work with individuals from all walks of life who are experiencing stress, anxiety, depression, emotion regulation challenges, trauma, identity exploration, and self-esteem concerns.

My approach to counseling is collaborative, holistic, and grounded in evidence-based practice. I draw from techniques in cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT), and acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) — personalizing treatment to your unique needs, goals, and preferences. I hold the belief that my clients are the experts on their own lives, and I intentionally strive to respect and honor this as I guide you in building insight, resilience, and meaningful change at a pace that feels comfortable.
