About Brittany
Dr. Brittany Collins is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) with ten years of clinical experience. She practices in Ohio and works with adults on concerns such as stress, anxiety, grief, depression, self-esteem, career questions, relationship difficulties, parenting strains, trauma and abuse, and LGBT-related issues. Dr. Collins also notes focus areas that include abandonment, blended family issues, body image, caregiver stress, codependency, communication problems, and related family-of-origin concerns.
Her approach centers on collaborating with each person to make a clear plan for therapy. She draws on client-centered methods to keep sessions focused on the person’s concerns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offer structured tools for managing thoughts and intense emotions.
Dr. Collins also uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) and Existential Therapy when exploring relationship patterns, meaning, and identity. In sessions she mixes practical skills with conversation about values and life choices. That blend helps people clarify what changes they want and how to begin.
She has worked in individual and group settings and with adults, adolescents, and young adults in roles that included therapy and consulting. Dr. Collins earned a PhD in Counselor Education and Supervision from the University of Cincinnati and a Master of Science in Education in Clinical and Mental Health Counseling from the University of Dayton. She presents herself as a collaborator who helps clients set goals and track progress.
If guilt or shame from past actions or family patterns is part of the concern, Dr. Collins addresses those feelings as they come up and links them to coping skills and relational patterns. To start, viewers should confirm session options and scheduling details before booking.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Dr. Collins commonly brings together client-centered work, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). Client-centered work focuses on listening and helping people identify their own goals. CBT looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and offers practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns. DBT teaches concrete skills for tolerating distress and regulating intense emotions, useful when shame or guilt feels overwhelming.Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative step. She will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful. That conversation guides whether sessions lean more toward skill-building, emotion-focused work, or values and meaning work from an existential angle.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm the available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove commute time. Those practical benefits help people keep therapy consistent while they practice skills and work through feelings such as guilt and shame.
