About Emily
Emily Collings is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) in Nevada and a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Pennsylvania with four years of clinical experience. She works with adults on concerns such as anxiety, depression, grief, stress, addictions, body image and eating issues, ADHD, relationship and family-related difficulties, trauma and abuse, and compassion fatigue. Sessions are framed around supporting people to live in line with their values and to address the effects of stigma and internalized oppression.
Emily favors person-centered work that encourages honest, direct conversation. She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and cognitive behavioral tools to identify unhelpful patterns and to build practical skills for handling intense feelings. She also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy and existential ideas when someone needs clearer boundaries, emotion regulation strategies, or help locating meaning after loss.
Her approach is informed by queer and trans affirmation, neurodiversity-affirming perspectives, and attention to disability and body-image concerns. That often means talking through how social pressures affect choices and self-view, and practicing self-advocacy skills. She includes mindfulness and self-compassion practices when they suit a person.
Emily regularly works with people struggling with eating and body-related concerns, grief, and family-of-origin issues. She brings expressive arts and cultural references into sessions when that helps someone express difficult feelings more easily.
People who choose her can expect straightforward, collaborative work that connects clear behavioral steps with personal values. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the online booking flow.
How sessions work
How Emily’s therapeutic approaches translate online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying what matters to a person and taking small, practical steps toward those values while learning to live with difficult thoughts and feelings. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes.Client-Centered Therapy centers the person’s own goals and voice. The therapist listens closely and helps people name what they want to change, which can be useful for issues like relationship strain, family-of-origin concerns, and self-esteem work.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people identify unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and replace them with more effective alternatives. It is commonly applied to anxiety, mood concerns, and stress management.
Finding the right approach is collaborative. Emily will work with each person to see which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That may mean combining ACT, CBT, DBT skills, and person-centered conversation to build practical coping skills and clearer choices.
Confirm the current session options before booking since formats were not specified in the biography. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy household routine, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They also let someone use calmer, quieter moments of the day to work on skills and planning without rearranging an entire day.
