Emily Jackman is a doctoral student in Counseling Psychology at the University of Utah and a primary member of UCEBT’s Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and Trauma, Stress, and Resilience (TSR) programs. Her clinical training has included individual and group therapy across university counseling, community mental health, and private practice settings. She has experience supporting clients with diverse needs across outpatient and higher-acuity mental health contexts. She also has experience supporting family members navigating acute psychiatric care through her work with the National Alliance on Mental Illness.
Emily’s approach is collaborative and integrative, drawing particularly from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and DBT. She is interested in helping clients better understand patterns that may no longer be serving them, build greater flexibility in responding to difficult thoughts and emotions, and move toward lives that feel more meaningful and consistent with their values. Her clinical interests include trauma and PTSD, emotion regulation, substance use, and neurodivergent-affirming care. Her group therapy experience has included working specifically with autistic students and adults.
Alongside her clinical training, Emily is completing graduate training in statistics and conducts research examining substance use and the individual and social factors that shape health behavior. She values integrating strong empirical evidence with attention to each client’s individual experiences, identities, relationships, and goals.
