About Emily

Emily Collings is a compassionate therapist who centers clients' individual values and lived experiences. She brings a clear, down-to-earth style to sessions and aims to help people make sense of difficult moments. Emily holds LCPC (Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor) and LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) credentials and works from Pennsylvania.

Her practice focuses on common and painful concerns like anxiety, depression, grief, stress, and addictions. She also supports people facing eating and body image struggles, ADHD, trauma and abuse, and relationship or family-related distress.

Background and approach

Emily pays attention to how identity and social pressures shape wellbeing. Emily draws on Existential approaches alongside Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Client-Centered methods, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy. In plain terms she helps clients notice what matters to them, build skills to manage upsetting thoughts and feelings, and make clearer choices that align with their values.

Sessions are collaborative and paced to each person's needs. Emily mixes practical skill work - like grounding, behavioral experiments, and values-based planning - with reflective conversation about meaning, identity, and personal goals. She includes mindfulness and self-compassion practices when helpful.

With four years of clinical experience, Emily aims to create a respectful, nonjudgmental space where people can talk through hard topics. She works in English and provides therapy via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging.

Online support

Therapeutic approaches that translate well to online care

Emily often uses Existential Therapy to help people clarify what matters to them and to talk through questions about identity, purpose, and life changes. That approach supports those facing grief, meaning struggles, or big transitions. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is also part of her work, teaching practical ways to accept difficult feelings while taking steps that match personal values. ACT is useful for anxiety, depression, and stress-related problems.

She combines these approaches with client-centered listening that keeps the client's perspective central. Finding the right approach is a collaborative process - the therapist will check in about what feels useful and adjust methods to match goals, needs, and preferences. Clients and therapist decide together which tools to try and how to pace the work.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video is good for face-to-face conversation and exercises that need visual cues. Phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging make it easier to send quick updates, practice skills between sessions, or fit support into a busy day. These options can make it simpler to keep therapy consistent while juggling work, school, or caregiving.
