About Emma
Emma Cott is a Licensed Clinical Marriage and Family Therapist (LCMFT) practicing in Kansas who works with adolescents, adults, couples, and families. She welcomes people facing a wide range of concerns including anxiety, depression, relationship and intimacy difficulties, trauma and abuse, grief, addictions, and many others.
Background and approach
Her practice also addresses specific areas such as attachment and abandonment issues, body image and eating-related struggles, blended family dynamics, and challenges tied to kink and alternative sex culture. Drawing on 12 years of clinical work, Emma blends evidence-informed methods to meet each client’s needs.
Her background includes six years in community mental health doing crisis intervention followed by independent practice experience beginning in 2017. She describes a warm, supportive stance while also offering frank encouragement and challenge when the client is ready, aiming to normalize mental health struggles and foster acceptance as the groundwork for change.
Emma uses an integrative toolkit that includes Internal Family Systems, client-centered techniques, CBT and DBT influences, existential perspectives, and trauma-aware interventions. She frames therapy as a collaborative process and uses whatever combination of approaches best supports a person, couple, or family in reaching their goals.
Approaches that guide online sessions and what they do
Emma integrates Internal Family Systems, client-centered work, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy into her online practice. Internal Family Systems helps people explore different internal parts and how they relate to one another, which can be useful for addressing patterns of anxiety, shame, or dissociation. Client-centered therapy emphasizes genuine listening, empathy, and acceptance so clients can explore values and identity at their own pace. CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, offering concrete skills for mood, anxiety, and relationship concerns.Choosing the right approach is treated as a collaborative process. Emma works with clients to clarify goals, preferences, and comfort levels, then recommends techniques from these traditions that fit each person, couple, or family. She adapts methods over time as needs evolve, keeping clients involved in deciding what feels most helpful.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for different schedules and communication styles. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, access therapy from home or work, and use formats that best support emotional processing and skill practice.
