About Brittany

Dr. Brittany Collins uses a client-centered approach to guide conversations about stress, anxiety, grief, self-esteem, career worries, and men’s wellbeing. She is Dr. Brittany Collins, LPC, LPCC, and brings a decade of professional experience to sessions. Her style is direct but supportive, focused on helping people notice what matters and try small changes that fit their life.

She draws on cognitive behavioral ideas to break down unhelpful thought patterns and on dialectical behavior therapy skills to teach emotion regulation and distress tolerance. Emotionally-focused work helps people name and change patterns in important relationships, and existential ideas are used when people want to sort values and life direction. Sessions are practical and conversational rather than academic.

Her background includes work across individual and group settings with adults and young adults. That range has informed how she adapts tools for different goals, such as managing panic, coping with loss, rebuilding self-esteem, or navigating career transitions. She emphasizes collaboration and clear goals in each plan.

People can expect a mix of skill practice, reflective conversation, and problem-solving. The therapist pays attention to family of origin issues, fatherhood concerns, blended family stress, and issues like abandonment or codependency when those topics are relevant. She also supports clients facing trauma, eating and body image struggles, and relationship challenges.

Her approach aims to help people make steady progress on everyday concerns. If you want a straightforward, goal-oriented partner for therapy, she works with you to set the next steps and adjust as needed.

How these approaches work online

Client-centered therapy focuses on the client’s perspective and priorities. The therapist listens closely, reflects what she hears, and helps clients set goals that feel meaningful. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and uses simple experiments to test new ways of thinking and acting. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches practical skills for managing strong emotions, improving relationships, and tolerating distress.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each client to choose strategies that match goals, preferences, and the issues they bring. That might mean starting with skill-based CBT exercises, shifting to emotion-focused conversation, or mixing techniques over time based on what helps.

If you prefer online therapy, check the current session options before booking since formats are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when that suits a day. Some methods translate well to remote sessions - CBT worksheets and DBT skills practice can be done across a screen or phone - and the therapist will adapt exercises to fit how you prefer to connect.
