Emily Collings , LCPC, LPC

Emily Collings is a non-binary therapist who centers feminist values and disability justice in their work while affirming neurodiversity, queer and trans identities, and fat acceptance. They focus on helping people build lives that reflect their core values and on healing the effects of external and internalized oppression that can undermine wellbeing. Their clinical interests include eating disorders and disordered eating, body image, neurodiversity, grief and loss, and trauma, alongside a broad range of concerns such as anxiety, depression, ADHD, addictions, relationship and family issues, stress, chronic illness, and caregiver strain.

Their practice is grounded in person-centered and feminist approaches, creating a space where people can bring their full, authentic selves without shame or judgment. They have additional training in Dialectical Behavior Therapy and Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction, and they often weave self-compassion practices, expressive arts, philosophical reflection, pop culture references, and self-advocacy skills into sessions. Emily holds credentials as a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) and a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC), which reflect formal training and state licensure to provide counseling.

Emily aims to collaborate with each person to identify meaningful goals and practical steps toward healing and greater alignment with values. They invite those seeking support to explore therapy as a path toward resilience, self-understanding, and liberation.

Approach-Focused Care and Online Access

Emily draws from client-centered therapy to prioritize each person's lived experience, offering a collaborative, nonjudgmental stance that helps people explore identity, values, and relationship patterns in a way that supports self-understanding and growth. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is used to help clients notice difficult thoughts and feelings while committing to actions that reflect their values, useful for anxiety, mood concerns, and life transitions. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) provides concrete skills in emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness and can be especially helpful for high-intensity emotions, trauma responses, and relationship challenges.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Emily works together with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting techniques as the work unfolds to ensure treatment feels relevant and effective.

Online therapy with Emily is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, giving flexibility to connect in ways that suit daily schedules, energy levels, and access needs. These options make it easier for people to engage consistently with therapy, maintain momentum between sessions, and receive support from licensed professionals without the need for travel.
