Emily Collings , LCPC, LPC

Emily Collings is a feminist, neurodiversity-affirming, queer- and trans-affirming, fat-affirming, and disability-justice aligned therapist who helps people build lives that reflect their deepest values and heal from both external and internalized oppression. Emily focuses on eating disorders and disordered eating, body image, neurodiversity, grief and loss, and trauma, bringing an empathic, nonjudgmental presence to work that often intersects with identity and systemic harm. She holds LCPC and LPC credentials, which are licenses to practice professional counseling (NV LCPC CP5932-R, PA LPC PC016118).

Emily’s practice is grounded in person-centered and feminist approaches, creating a space where people can explore their stories and express their full, authentic selves without shame. Training in Dialectical Behavior Therapy and Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction informs her clinical toolkit, and she regularly weaves self-compassion practices, expressive arts, philosophy and pop culture, and self-advocacy skills into sessions. Emily aims to collaborate with each person to clarify values, develop practical coping strategies, and pursue healing and liberation at a pace that feels right.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Emily Collings draws on client-centered therapy to create a collaborative, accepting space where the client’s experience and values guide the work; this approach is useful for people seeking a relationship-centered path to address identity, self-esteem, and life transitions. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients clarify what matters most to them and build practical steps toward those values while learning to relate differently to difficult thoughts and feelings; it can be helpful for anxiety, stress, and coping with life changes. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers concrete skills for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, making it a strong fit for people managing intense emotions, relationship challenges, or patterns of self-harm and impulsivity.

Finding the right combination of approaches is part of the therapeutic process, and Emily works collaboratively with each person to determine what fits their goals, preferences, and needs. Sessions can mix techniques from different models as appropriate.

Online therapy with Emily is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for scheduling and accessibility for people with varied routines or mobility needs. Licensed professionals can adapt these formats to deliver consistent therapeutic support, making it easier to maintain continuity of care while balancing work, family, and other responsibilities.
