About Emily
LCSW, LICSW licensed in Oregon, 4 years in private practice. Emily Crowell focuses on relationship, family, parenting, and coping with life changes. She blends prior family law work with clinical care to help people manage divorce, co-parenting, and parenting challenges.
Emily spent over a decade in family law as a mediator, custody evaluator, and parent coordinator before moving into mental health practice. She opened a private practice in 2020 and uses that background to inform practical, problem-focused sessions. She frames work around concrete goals and plans rather than abstract theory.
In sessions she talks through parenting strategies, co-parenting communication, and steps for adjusting after separation or divorce. She also addresses adoption and foster care concerns, blended family dynamics, fertility issues, and pregnancy and childbirth challenges. Her prior roles give her familiarity with custody and legal processes relevant to these topics.
She describes the therapist role as newer to her and emphasizes learning alongside clients. Expect straightforward conversations that aim to identify obstacles, set small goals, and track progress over time. The tone is practical and focused on skills you can use at home.
Emily practices in Oregon and holds the credentials Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker. Sessions are conducted in English. Prospective clients should confirm current session formats before booking.

Therapeutic approaches and working online with Emily Crowell
Emily uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques and brings practical family law experience into sessions. One common approach she applies is problem-focused work that identifies specific parenting or co-parenting challenges, breaks them into steps, and builds a plan to address them. This helps with managing day-to-day conflicts and improving communication. Another approach is skills-based work that teaches concrete tools for emotion regulation, boundary setting, and structured parenting routines. These skills aim to reduce reactive conflict and create clearer expectations in blended or separated households. Deciding on the best approach is part of the therapy process. She collaborates with clients to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences. Clients and the therapist adjust strategies over time based on what is working. Confirm the available session formats before booking, as formats are not detailed here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It also lets people attend from locations that are quieter or more convenient, and it can support ongoing work when handling court dates or parenting transitions.03
