About Emily
Emily Collings is an LCPC and an LPC practicing in Pennsylvania with four years of clinical experience. They work with adults on concerns such as anxiety, depression, stress, eating and body image issues, grief, addictions, and relationship struggles. Emily also lists family of origin issues, attachment concerns, ADHD, and gender-related questions among their focus areas.
Emily frames work around the person in front of them. Sessions emphasize listening, real conversation, and practical skills. Techniques draw from cognitive behavioral therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, and client-centered approaches. Sessions often include mindfulness and self-compassion practices when helpful.
People come to Emily for help untangling patterns that began in childhood, managing difficult emotions, and changing habits that interfere with daily life. They also support people dealing with caregiver stress, chronic illness challenges, fertility-related strain, and forgiveness work. Emily notes experience with grief, trauma, and navigating life transitions.
In sessions Emily uses straightforward, concrete strategies such as thought records, values clarification, and skills from DBT to improve emotion regulation. They draw on existential ideas when people are facing questions about meaning and purpose. Expressive techniques and attention to identity concerns may appear when relevant.
Emily practices from a perspective that affirms queer and trans identities, neurodiversity, larger bodies, and disability justice. People who are considering therapy are invited to complete a short questionnaire and schedule an initial visit to discuss goals and fit.
How Emily’s approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) centers on clarifying personal values and taking committed action. Online ACT sessions typically include values exercises, behavioral experiments, and skills to notice thoughts without getting stuck. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and uses practical tools like thought records and behavior experiments to reduce distress. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness skills that can be practiced between sessions.Finding the right approach is part of therapy. Emily collaborates with each client to decide which methods fit their needs and goals. She combines listening with concrete exercises so clients can try tools and then adjust the plan based on what helps.
