Emily Lord

She/Her/Hers

Now Accepting New Clients

Emily Lord is a Clinical Social Work Intern who transitioned to therapy after 20 years of leadership roles in the private sector and nonprofit organizations. She brings warmth, curiosity, and a sense of humor to her work with clients. In addition to her internship, Emily also works as a leadership coach, leveraging her experience and passion to help people cultivate resilience and growth.

In her sessions, Emily creates a calm, supportive space where clients feel seen and understood. She takes a person-centered approach, grounded in deep empathy. She draws from approaches such as Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to support clients in building coping skills, managing emotions, and moving toward meaningful goals. Emily values collaboration and tailors her work to each client’s unique needs and circumstances.

She especially enjoys working with adults who are navigating burnout, identity exploration, and relationship challenges, and has a particular interest in supporting those seeking to reconnect with their strengths and build healthier patterns in daily life. Outside of her clinical work, Emily enjoys spending time with her family, hiking local trails, and attending community festivals—connections to joy and community that she also brings into her therapeutic work.

Emily Lord is working under the licensed supervision of Maggie Skrypek, MSW, MPP, LICSW, while completing her graduate internship program in social work.
