About Brittany
Dr. Brittany Collins is an LPC, LPCC with ten years of clinical work and a PhD in Counselor Education and Supervision. She practices from Ohio and focuses on stress, anxiety, grief, depression, relationship strain, and parenting concerns, among other issues. She offers help for people navigating identity and LGBT concerns, career questions, and family-related stress.
Her approach is practical and person-focused. She draws on client-centered methods to listen and clarify what matters most to each person. She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify patterns of thinking and behavior that keep problems stuck, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills when regulation and distress tolerance are needed. Emotionally-Focused Therapy and existential ideas shape conversations about meaning, values, and attachment.
Sessions often look like clear problem-solving paired with emotional reflection. She helps clients break big problems into manageable steps. She will work with someone to set realistic goals and practice skills between meetings.
Her background includes work with adults, adolescents, athletes, and coaches in individual and group settings. That experience informs how she helps people manage life transitions, performance pressures, and family strain. She has supported those dealing with trauma and abuse, domestic violence, and blended family challenges.
People who come for help often want concrete tools and straightforward discussion. The therapist collaborates on a plan that fits the person’s goals and circumstances. To begin, clients follow the site’s intake flow to match and schedule an initial session.
How sessions work
How therapeutic approaches translate to online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting so people can name their concerns and priorities. Online sessions using this approach typically emphasize conversation and collaborative planning to decide what to work on next.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions. In an online setting CBT often includes structured exercises, homework, and tracking patterns between sessions to change unhelpful habits.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) supplies practical skills for managing strong emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness. When used online, DBT work usually teaches brief coping strategies and step-by-step behavioral skills people can practice between meetings.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will review needs, goals, and preferences together and recommend which methods to try first. This is a collaborative decision and can change over time as goals evolve.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm available options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into busy days - for example, shorter check-ins during a lunch break, or meeting without travel time. They also allow for flexibility in how someone uses skills between appointments and make it possible to continue work when life requires remote access.
