Emily Collings

Emily Collings is a non-binary therapist who centers Mindfulness Therapy alongside client-centered work. They focus on helping people live in line with their values and heal from effects of stigma and internalized oppression. Emily aims to make sessions a place where clients can speak honestly without shame. Emily brings four years of clinical experience and holds LCPC and LPC credentials. They draw on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people manage anxiety, depression, stress, and trauma. Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills also appear in their work when emotional regulation or distress tolerance are priorities. They have a particular focus on eating and body image concerns, grief and loss, addictions, and compassion fatigue. Emily also supports people with ADHD, attachment and abandonment issues, and gender dysphoria. Practical skills such as self-compassion, self-advocacy, and expressive arts are often part of sessions. Emily describes their practice as feminist, neurodiversity-affirming, queer and trans-affirming, fat-affirming, and aligned with disability justice. That perspective shapes how they address family of origin issues and caregiving stress. People can expect conversations that combine present-moment awareness with goal-focused tools. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions according to the therapist's availability. Sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.

How therapy approaches shape online sessions

Mindfulness Therapy emphasizes paying attention to the present moment and noticing thoughts and feelings without harsh judgment; it can help with anxiety, stress, and body image struggles by teaching grounding and awareness practices.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on clarifying personal values and taking steps toward them while learning to accept difficult internal experiences. It is often used for coping with life changes, anxiety, and depression.

Client-Centered Therapy creates space for people to be heard and understood as they are, which supports self-exploration and building self-acceptance during hard moments.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Emily will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That choice evolves over time rather than being fixed at the first session.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the available session formats before booking because specific formats are not listed in the biography. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. They also let people use practices like guided mindfulness exercises and worksheet-based ACT work during the session without needing extra materials.
