About Emily
Emily Collings is a licensed counselor who centers care on acceptance and personal values. She offers a direct, nonjudgmental space to talk about stress, anxiety, grief, eating and body image concerns, and substance use issues. Emily uses clear tools to help people manage emotions and navigate life changes.
Emily works from approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, client-centered methods, and cognitive behavioral strategies. She brings four years of clinical experience and adapts techniques to each person’s needs.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on building skills, clarifying values, and reducing unhelpful patterns of thinking and behavior. Her background includes work with trauma, compassion fatigue, ADHD, gender and sexual identity concerns, and family-of-origin issues. She also addresses abandonment, attachment, chronic illness and caregiver stress.
Emily blends practical techniques with conversations about meaning and identity. In sessions she may teach emotion regulation skills drawn from Dialectical Behavior Therapy and mindfulness practices to support coping. She uses exercises to strengthen self-compassion, increase distress tolerance, and shift rigid thinking.
The emphasis is on small, manageable steps that fit into daily life. Emily offers video, phone, chat, and text-based messaging options for therapy. Sessions are scheduled through a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.
She provides services in English to people located in Pennsylvania.
How Emily Uses Evidence-Based Approaches Online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then take actions that match their values. This approach can help with anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and supporting a person’s self-direction, which helps build trust and a clearer sense of identity and goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) identifies unhelpful thinking and teaches practical strategies to change behavior and reduce distress, which is useful for anxiety, depression, and some eating-related concerns.Finding the best approach is part of the work. Emily will collaborate with each person to choose techniques that fit their needs, goals, and preferences. Sessions often mix approaches so that skills practice, values work, and supportive conversation all have a place in treatment.
Online therapy with Emily is offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to match different schedules and comfort levels. Video lets people use visual cues and deeper conversation. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and messaging allow brief check-ins, practice between sessions, and flexibility during busy days. These options make scheduling simpler and help therapy fit into everyday life.
