About Brittany

Dr. Brittany Collins is an LPC, LPCC with ten years of counseling experience based in Ohio. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, career questions, depression, relationship concerns, family issues, trauma and parenting challenges. She also notes experience with LGBT concerns and related identity issues.

She uses a collaborative, person-focused style in sessions. She listens to what matters most and helps clients set practical goals. Sessions often include learning new ways to notice thoughts and reactions, and practicing skills that make everyday social situations and responsibilities easier to handle.

Brittany draws on cognitive behavioral approaches to help people spot unhelpful thinking and test new behaviors. She also uses client-centered methods to follow each person’s priorities and emotionally-focused ideas to clarify important relationship patterns. These methods are aimed at reducing anxiety around social situations and improving communication and connection.

Her background includes work with individuals, groups, and teams across ten years of practice. That work has included people coping with performance-related stress, life transitions, and family-of-origin difficulties. Her clinical training is grounded in counseling education and supervision at the doctoral level.

In sessions she helps people practice small, doable steps toward the goals they name. That can mean trying a short behavioral exercise between meetings, practicing a conversation script, or using grounding and breathing skills when anxiety rises. She invites clients to shape the plan so it fits their daily life and commitments.

How her clinical approaches translate to online work

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and following the client’s priorities. In online sessions this means the conversation starts with what feels most important and builds a plan from there. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, teaches practical skills to notice unhelpful thoughts and try small behavior changes; it often suits anxiety, stress, and social fears by offering concrete exercises to practice between meetings.

The right approach is usually figured out together. The therapist will review goals, talk through what has helped before, and suggest approaches that match needs and preferences. That collaborative process can be part of the first few sessions while deciding which tools to use going forward.

The original biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm the available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit counseling into a busy week, shorten travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also support practicing real-life skills between sessions and reviewing what felt difficult in recent social situations.
