Dr. Brittany Collins, LPC, LPCC

Dr. Brittany Collins offers a collaborative, person-focused approach to therapy. She uses clear, direct conversation to help people sort through stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, career concerns, relationship strain, parenting stress, and trauma. Dr. Collins writes plainly with a practical aim: clients leave sessions with ideas they can use between visits. With ten years of experience, she draws on Client-Centered methods to keep the client’s goals central. She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy tools to identify unhelpful thinking and build coping skills. Emotionally-Focused and Existential ideas shape conversations about meaning, identity, and close relationships. Her work often addresses practical family issues such as blended family transitions, fatherhood challenges, communication problems, and caregiving stress. She also supports people facing abandonment wounds, body image struggles, codependency, control issues, divorce and separation, and eating or food-related concerns. Dr. Collins earned a PhD in Counselor Education and Supervision and holds LPC and LPCC credentials. She brings experience in individual and group settings and has worked with adults, adolescents, young adults, athletes, and coaches on performance and life transitions. She asks questions, listens, and offers concrete strategies to manage difficult moments. Sessions focus on small, manageable steps and on building skills that fit everyday life. If you want straightforward support that combines emotional depth with practical tools, this approach may be a fit.

How these approaches guide online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following the client’s agenda. In online sessions this means the therapist checks in, reflects what she hears, and helps people set goals that feel doable. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behavior; online CBT sessions emphasize concrete exercises and short between-session tasks to change patterns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy adds skills for managing strong emotions, handling distress, and improving relationships, often through practical coping strategies taught in session.

Deciding which approach fits comes from trying things together. The therapist will talk with clients about their goals and preferences and suggest options. That collaborative process helps shape a plan that uses the most relevant tools from these methods.

Session logistics were not specified in the profile, so confirm the available online formats before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy day, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It can also let someone continue care after moving between locations. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises and skills training to work over distance, and the therapist will help pick approaches and pacing that fit each person's life.
