About Brittany
She brings ten years of experience working with adults and young adults on issues like self-esteem, career change, parenting stress, and relationship concerns. Trauma and abuse are listed among her focus areas, and she helps people process related effects on daily life and relationships. She also addresses challenges such as abandonment, blended family concerns, and family of origin issues.
Her work draws on approaches that include Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT), and Existential Therapy. In sessions she listens closely, helps people name patterns, and practices strategies that can be used between meetings. The aim is practical progress rather than abstract theory.
Dr. Collins holds LPC and LPCC credentials and has a PhD in Counselor Education and Supervision. She has experience with individual and group formats and has supported people dealing with performance and identity questions in addition to mood concerns. She welcomes people who want a thoughtful, steady guide through life transitions.
If you are unsure where to start, she asks about your goals and helps you choose steps that fit your day-to-day routine. The first sessions typically focus on understanding what matters most and making a simple plan for moving forward.
How therapy approaches translate to online care
Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes the person's own goals and experiences. It focuses on listening, reflecting, and creating a plan together so people feel heard and can set realistic next steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people spot unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and practice small, measurable changes that reduce anxiety or improve mood. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches skills for managing intense emotions, improving distress tolerance, and strengthening relationships.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their needs and preferences. Sessions often begin by identifying priorities and then testing what works, with adjustments based on progress and feedback.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Many people find online sessions easier to fit into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins during a lunch break, or reduce travel time to appointments. Online work can make it simpler to practice skills between meetings and to bring real-life situations into conversation with the therapist. Licensed professionals can explain which approaches will best match your goals and lifestyle during an initial scheduling step.
