Therapeutic approaches and online care

Dr. Brittany Collins draws on Client-Centered Therapy to create a respectful, empathetic space where the client’s priorities guide the work; this approach helps with issues that benefit from exploration of values, identity, and personal meaning. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to identify and shift unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors, which can ease symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress by building practical coping strategies. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers skills in emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, often supporting clients who struggle with intense emotions, relationship difficulties, or patterns of self-criticism.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Dr. Collins collaborates with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adjusts the plan as progress and circumstances evolve. This collaborative stance helps ensure therapy feels relevant and workable.

Online therapy options such as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging make it easier to fit care into a busy life and to connect across distances. These formats offer flexibility in scheduling, reduce travel time, and allow continuity of support for people in different locations, while still allowing licensed professionals and therapists to apply evidence-informed approaches and personalized treatment planning.
