About Emily
Emily Collings is a licensed counselor who centers care on each person's values and lived experience. Emily holds an LCPC and an LPC and brings four years of clinical experience. They create a calm, accepting space where clients can talk about stress, anxiety, grief, eating and body-image concerns, and addiction issues.
Emily combines client-centered work with evidence-based skills to help people manage symptoms and build routines that fit their life.
Background and approach
Sessions often include mindfulness exercises and practical coping tools. The therapist also draws on approaches that address strong emotions and relationship patterns. People come to Emily for help with self-esteem, compassion fatigue, trauma and abuse, and for support through life changes.
Emily also works with concerns related to ADHD, gender dysphoria, attachment and abandonment wounds, and family of origin issues. Conversations tend to focus on what matters most to the client and on small steps toward feeling better. Therapy sessions balance listening with hands-on practice.
Clients can expect to learn skills for managing anxiety, regulating intense feelings, and improving day-to-day functioning. Emily uses simple exercises, repeated practice, and collaborative problem solving to make progress manageable. Emily sees clients in Pennsylvania and offers sessions in English.
Work is respectful of identity, and the therapist emphasizes creating an environment that affirms queer and trans experiences as well as neurodiversity and body diversity.
How Emily's Approaches Translate to Online Therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify their values and take small, meaningful steps toward them while accepting unpleasant thoughts or feelings. It is useful for anxiety, stress, and getting unstuck from unhelpful patterns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with real-life experiments to reduce distress and change behavior. It often helps with anxiety, depression, and eating concerns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches emotion-regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal skills for managing intense emotions and relationship challenges.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't helped before. Together they try methods and adjust the plan as therapy proceeds to find what fits best.
Online sessions offer flexibility and practical benefits. Video calls let visual cues guide the work and support skills practice. Phone sessions can be a simpler option when bandwidth is limited or a check-in is needed during a busy day. Live chat and text-based messaging allow shorter, more frequent check-ins and can help people keep skills front of mind between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a routine while using ACT, CBT, or DBT techniques in real time.
