About Betty
Betty Collins is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 28 years of clinical experience. She works with adults on concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and intimacy-related issues, parenting struggles, addiction, grief, trauma and abuse, and career or workplace problems.
Her practice centers on helping people clarify what matters to them and take practical steps toward those goals. She draws on several therapy methods to match what a person needs. Sessions focus on identifying patterns, practicing new skills, and making changes that fit everyday life.
Betty uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Client-Centered Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) in her work. She adapts these approaches to address issues like communication problems, commitment concerns, blended family dynamics, infidelity, control issues, and impulsivity.
Her background includes counseling adults across different roles such as employees, employers, students, athletes, and performance artists. She also has experience as a life coach and in mediation and collaborative law counseling facilitation. That experience informs a practical, results-oriented style.
In sessions she listens, reflects, and helps people notice the behaviors and beliefs that keep them stuck. The focus is on small, doable steps toward better self-understanding, healthier relationships, and improved daily functioning.
How sessions work
Therapeutic approaches and working online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying personal values and committing to actions that reflect those values. It helps people who feel stuck by teaching them to accept difficult thoughts and still move toward what matters to them.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact. It uses practical exercises to change unhelpful thinking and build coping skills for anxiety, depression, and stress-related problems.
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people notice and name emotions, and then use that awareness to change how they respond in relationships and to personal struggles. It can be useful when issues involve attachment or strong emotional cycles.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose which methods to use based on their goals, preferences, and the specific problems they bring. That choice can shift as progress is made.
Confirm the session formats before booking since the biography does not list them. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life by reducing travel time, allowing a shorter check-in between commitments, or offering options that do not require video. Licensed professionals often use these practical advantages to help clients maintain steady progress while managing everyday responsibilities.
