About Emily
Emily Collings is a licensed counselor who brings a warm, accepting presence to sessions. She is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) and a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Pennsylvania. Emily focuses on helping people manage anxiety, depression, grief, eating and body image concerns, and ADHD-related challenges.
Emily uses clear, person-centered methods that let clients tell their story and set the pace. She blends Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) with Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills when useful.
Background and approach
Sessions often include practical tools for stress, emotion regulation, and everyday routines. Her approach emphasizes values and small changes that add up. She helps people notice what matters to them, try new behaviors, and handle setbacks with more self-compassion.
That practical focus is helpful for coping with life changes, relationship strain, and caregiving stress. Emily pays attention to how past experiences shape current patterns. She addresses attachment and abandonment issues, family of origin concerns, and the emotional fallout of trauma.
Work on forgiveness, boundaries, and control issues is done at a steady, manageable pace. She also supports people dealing with addiction, chronic illness, fertility stress, and compassion fatigue. Sessions can include mindfulness exercises, expressive techniques, and straightforward problem-solving.
Emily brings four years of clinical experience to each collaborative session.
Therapeutic approaches brought to online sessions
Emily often uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify what matters to them and take small steps toward those values, even when emotions are hard. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to identify unhelpful thinking and test new behaviors that improve daily routines and mood. Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills are added when people need concrete tools for regulating strong emotions, handling conflict, or reducing impulsive behaviors.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to your concerns, goals, and preferences, and then suggest which methods might fit best. Together you can try different techniques and adjust the plan as you learn what helps most.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to make care more flexible. Video calls allow deeper conversation and visual cues, while phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat or text sessions work well for brief check-ins, skill practice, or people who prefer not to be on camera. These options help fit therapy into busy schedules and varying energy levels.
