Emma Lecarie, MA

Doctoral Psychology Intern

Emma Lecarie (she/her/hers) is a doctoral candidate in the Clinical Psychology PhD Program at Arizona State University and is currently a predoctoral clinical child psychology intern at the Lucile Packard Children’s Hospital at Stanford and CHC. Emma’s clinical and research interests include exploring psychosocial and developmental factors that are integral in the mental health of adolescents and young adults. Emma’s current program of research focuses on the effects of sleep and stress in the development of anxiety and depressive symptoms across pubertal development and into later adolescence, including examining whether these health factors are more genetically or environmentally influenced. In her clinical work, Emma takes a biopsychosocial approach and focuses on providing evidence-based treatment and assessment for diverse children, adolescents, young adults and families. She generally pulls on various modalities including cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), motivational interviewing, and mindfulness and acceptance-based strategies. Emma has completed clinical rotations at Phoenix Children’s Hospital and ASU Behavioral Health. In her free time, Emma enjoys staying active outdoors, frequenting coffee shops and solving puzzles.
