About Brittany
Dr. Brittany Collins draws on a mix of practical therapies to guide parents and individuals through life’s stressful transitions. She uses clear, straightforward techniques from approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy and emotion-focused work.
Her style is collaborative and calm, helping people set realistic goals and try new ways of handling problems. Dr. Collins holds LPC and LPCC credentials and has a decade of clinical experience in counseling and supervision.
She focuses on common parenting and family-related stresses such as anxiety, grief, and self-esteem struggles.
Background and approach
She also addresses relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, and issues that affect family roles like divorce, blended family adjustment, and fatherhood questions. Sessions include concrete strategies for communication, boundary-setting, and coping with big emotions. Her professional training includes a PhD in Counselor Education and Supervision and a master’s degree in Clinical and Mental Health Counseling.
Over ten years she has provided individual and group work, and consulted with athletes and coaches on performance and stress. This background informs a practical approach to problem solving and skill-building. In therapy, she blends client-centered listening with evidence-based tools such as CBT and dialectical behavior therapy when helpful.
She emphasizes collaboration - clients and therapist decide together what to try next. Her goal is to leave people with skills they can use at home. Dr.
Collins practices from Ohio and offers work in English. She supports people dealing with parenting challenges, family problems, and a broad range of emotional concerns, aiming to make therapy understandable and doable.
Therapeutic approaches and how they fit online
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and supporting each person where they are. It helps people feel heard and included so they can identify their own goals and next steps. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and actions affect feelings and teaches practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and stress. Dialectical behavior therapy, or DBT, adds skills for managing strong emotions and improving distress tolerance and interpersonal effectiveness.Deciding which approach to use is a team effort. The therapist will talk with each client about goals, past experiences, and what feels most helpful. Together they will try strategies and tweak the plan based on what works. This collaborative process helps match the approach to the person rather than forcing a single method.
Online therapy offers flexibility for busy schedules and varied needs. Video calls let people connect face to face from home, phone sessions remove travel time, and live chat or text-based messaging allow shorter check-ins and ongoing support. These options make it easier to fit therapy into parenting routines, workdays, or times when travel is difficult, while keeping the focus on practical steps and skill practice.
Client-Centered Therapy
The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)
Concrete skills for riding out strong emotion, tolerating distress, and handling relationships without things escalating. The skills are practised in daily life, so between-session support by message or phone fits naturally.
