Maybe you’re the steady one everyone leans on.
You remember the birthdays, check in when someone’s having a hard week & quietly handle whatever needs handling. Asking for help isn’t really your thing, so when you’re struggling, your first instinct is to keep it to yourself so you’re not a burden.
Maybe you’re anxious, stretched thin or tired in a way a good night’s sleep doesn’t fix. Maybe relationships leave you overthinking every interaction. Or maybe you’ve been dependable for everyone else for so long that you’re not totally sure what you need anymore.
Being the steady one isn’t a flaw. But you deserve a place where you don’t have to hold it all together—where we can get curious about how these patterns started, loosen the ones that are wearing you down & make more room for you.

What we might work on together
Most of these overlap, so there’s no need to pick the “right” one before reaching out.
People-pleasing
When being easygoing & dependable for everyone else leaves very little room for your own needs, boundaries or wants.
Therapy for people-pleasing →Anxiety
When your mind keeps running through what-ifs, rehearsing conversations & bracing for something to go wrong—even on the good days.
Anxiety therapy →Attachment wounds
When growing up with inconsistency, emotional distance or rejection shaped the way you connect, trust & ask for what you need.
Therapy for attachment wounds →Relationships & relational trauma
When closeness comes with overthinking, avoiding conflict or feeling like it’s your job to keep the peace.
Relational trauma therapy →Religious trauma
When faith, religion or stepping away from a belief system has left you questioning your identity, your relationships or your ability to trust yourself.
Religious trauma therapy →
WHAT DOES THERAPY WITH ME LOOK LIKE?
Therapy with me is warm, collaborative & a lot less buttoned-up than you might expect. I won’t sit quietly nodding while you try to guess what you’re supposed to say. We’ll do real work: noticing patterns & getting curious about what your reactions might be trying to protect. And we’ll also talk about the book you couldn’t put down, the show you’re bingeing & whatever made you laugh this week.
Some sessions we’ll trace a reaction back to where it started. Some sessions we’ll focus on what’s happening right now, like how to say no to someone without spending three days recovering from the guilt. And often, we’ll slow down & make space for the feelings you usually push through to get on with your day, so you can actually feel them. When it fits what we’re working on, we can also bring in EMDR.
All sessions are virtual, so you can meet with me from anywhere in Maine: your living room, your parked car on a lunch break or anywhere else you have privacy & a reliable internet connection.
WHEN CAN WE MEET?
I offer virtual therapy appointments for Maine clients in the mornings & early afternoons, with session start times of 8 AM, 9 AM, 10 AM, 11 AM, 12 PM & 1 PM Eastern Time*
So whether you like to get therapy in before the day picks up speed, fit it in mid-morning or take an hour for yourself after lunch, there’s probably a time that works. :)
*Availability for specific session times may vary.

ONLINE THERAPIST FOR WOMEN IN MAINE
I’m Emilee Crowder, a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) providing virtual therapy to women across Maine. I specialize in people-pleasing, anxiety, attachment wounds, relational trauma & religious trauma.
I’m a relational, trauma-informed therapist, which really just means I’m more interested in understanding you than in handing you a worksheet. The patterns you’re stuck in probably made a lot of sense at some point, so we’ll get curious about why before deciding what you want to do differently. I’m also trained in EMDR & can weave it in when it would help.
You don’t need to show up with an agenda or the perfect words. You can come in not knowing where to start, change your mind halfway through a sentence & tell me when something I say misses the mark. That’s all part of it.
-
Yes! I provide online therapy & telehealth to clients located anywhere in Maine, whether you're in Portland, South Portland, Lewiston, Bangor, Augusta, Brunswick, Biddeford, Bar Harbor or a small town up the coast or in the County. As long as you're physically located in Maine during our session & have a private space with reliable internet, we can meet virtually.
-
I work with women navigating people-pleasing, anxiety, attachment wounds, relational trauma & religious trauma. These usually show up tangled together, so you don’t have to know which one fits you best before reaching out.
-
Yes, & it's close to my heart (I'm a recovering people-pleaser myself)! We'll explore where the pressure to keep everyone comfortable comes from, why disappointing someone can feel so unbearable & how guilt & over-functioning keep you stuck. Then we'll practice boundaries that feel like you: clear & kind, not cold.
-
It can be a really good fit! In a lot of Maine towns, there aren't many therapists nearby, & the ones who are close might be your neighbor, a friend of your mom's or someone you'll run into at the grocery store. Meeting online means you don't have to drive an hour each way (in the snow!!) or wonder who noticed your car in the parking lot. All you need is a private space & a decent internet connection.
-
Yes! I’m trained in EMDR through an EMDRIA-approved program & can bring it into virtual sessions when it would be helpful for what we’re working on. It’s one tool we can use together, not something every session has to center on.
-
Sessions are $175 for 50 minutes. I don’t take insurance, but I can give you a superbill that you may be able to submit to your insurance for out-of-network reimbursement, depending on your plan.
-
I offer Maine clients session start times between 8:00 AM & 1:00 PM Eastern Time. Specific availability varies, but these hours tend to work well if you’d like therapy before work, during a mid-morning break or over lunch.
-
Start by filling out my Therapy Interest Form & share a little about yourself & what you’re hoping for. Once I look over your responses, I’ll reach out to set up a free 15-minute consultation, where we can meet, talk about what’s bringing you to therapy & see whether we feel like a good fit.
