About Emily-Rose
Emily-Rose Marquis is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) based in North Carolina. She supports people facing stress, anxiety, LGBTQ concerns, family conflict, trauma and abuse, and parenting strain. Her approach is down-to-earth and practical, with attention to each person’s life context and daily challenges.
She has three years of professional clinical experience as an LCSW and more than a decade working as a social worker in other roles. She also brings 14 years of military experience to her perspective, which informs how she thinks about structure, transitions, and relationships.
In sessions she aims to meet people where they are. Conversations focus on what is happening now and on concrete steps to reduce worry and improve day-to-day functioning. She pays attention to systems around a person - family, work, community - and how those systems affect feelings and choices.
Emily-Rose works in a collaborative way. She listens first, helps set realistic goals, and adapts her approach to each person’s needs. That may mean trying short practical exercises, pacing conversations about difficult memories, or working through family dynamics one step at a time.
People who are looking for steady, straightforward support for stress, anxiety, parenting questions, LGBTQ concerns, or trauma- and abuse-related struggles may find her style helpful. She encourages anyone interested to complete the initial matching steps and schedule a first meeting to see how it feels.

Evidence-based approaches and online care
Emily-Rose uses well-established, evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on managing symptoms and improving coping. One common approach is skills-based work that teaches practical tools for managing anxiety and stress, such as breathing exercises, grounding strategies, and step-by-step behavior changes to reduce worry.A second approach involves gentle, paced work on trauma and abuse concerns where the focus is on safety, regulation, and slowly processing difficult memories or reactions. This approach aims to help people feel steadier in daily life and better able to handle reminders and triggers.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. She will listen to your goals, assess what feels most manageable, and adjust methods as you go. Clients and the therapist decide together which techniques fit best with personal needs and preferences.
Confirm current session options before booking, since specific online formats are not listed here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow check-ins from different locations. Some formats can also allow shorter phone or video check-ins when time or bandwidth is limited. Ask about available session formats when you schedule to find what works for you.
