About Emily
Emily Collings is a licensed counselor who focuses on helping people manage strong emotions and life changes. She is an LCPC and an LPC with four years of clinical experience in Pennsylvania. She works with concerns like anger, anxiety, depression, grief, and stress, and she helps people navigate issues around identity, body image, and addiction.
Her approach centers on acceptance and practical skills. She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and client-centered methods to help clients notice what matters to them and take small steps toward those values.
Background and approach
She also uses cognitive behavioral tools and dialectical behavior techniques to teach coping skills for overwhelming feelings. Sessions tend to be straightforward and collaborative. The therapist listens first, then helps people set concrete goals.
Work may include learning new ways to tolerate distress, changing unhelpful thinking patterns, and practicing mindfulness and self-compassion skills in real life. Emily has experience addressing a wide range of concerns including trauma and abuse, eating and body image issues, ADHD, and compassion fatigue. She often helps people facing family of origin problems, attachment wounds, and fertility or caregiving stress.
Her background supports people dealing with both practical problems and painful emotions. Therapy with her is offered in English and delivered online through video, phone, live chat, or text messaging. Getting started involves a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a first session through the platform.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify their values and take small actions toward them even when difficult feelings are present. It can be useful for anger, depression, stress, and coping with life changes by focusing on meaningful goals rather than symptom elimination.Client-Centered Therapy centers the person's own experience. The therapist listens without judgment and follows the client's pace, which can help people feel understood and more able to try new ways of coping. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, and it teaches concrete skills for managing anxiety, mood, and anger.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. Sessions often mix approaches, with skill-building, values work, and supportive listening tailored to what the client needs.
Online therapy is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make care more flexible. Video lets people work face-to-face from wherever they are, phone calls require less bandwidth, live chat is good for short check-ins, and messaging can support ongoing reflection between sessions. These options help people fit therapy into busy lives and try different formats to see what works best.
