Dr. Brittany Collins

Dr. Brittany Collins offers trauma-focused therapy alongside client-centered care. She uses practical strategies to help people manage stress, anxiety, grief, and low self-esteem. Her approach is straightforward and focused on what matters to each person. Dr. Collins is based in Ohio and brings ten years of clinical experience to her work.

She keeps sessions collaborative and goal oriented. That means a person’s concerns guide the conversation and treatment plan. She uses tools from cognitive behavioral therapy to spot unhelpful thinking and from dialectical behavior therapy to teach emotion management skills. Emotionally-focused techniques help when relationships and attachment patterns are central to the issue.

Her background includes a PhD in Counselor Education and Supervision and a Master of Science in Education in Clinical and Mental Health Counseling. Her past work spans individual and group therapy and consulting with adults, adolescents, young adults, athletes, and coaches. This range shaped her practical, skills-based style.

In sessions she helps people with parenting strain, career changes, identity questions, and trauma and abuse recovery. She also addresses communication problems, codependency, body image, and family of origin issues. She explains tools clearly and practices at a pace each person can use.

People find the process collaborative: goals get set together, progress gets reviewed, and strategies get adjusted as needed. To begin, readers can use the site’s Start Therapy button and complete a short matching questionnaire to schedule with Dr. Collins.

How trauma-informed and skills-based therapy work online

Trauma-Focused Therapy helps people process and reduce the impact of past hurt through structured steps and pacing that suit each person. It focuses on what happened, how it affects daily life now, and practical ways to reduce symptoms and build safety in everyday routines.

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and working from the person’s priorities. The therapist follows the person’s lead, reflects what’s said, and supports self-directed change and decision making.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets patterns of thought and behavior that keep problems going. It breaks problems down into manageable steps, teaches specific skills, and uses practice between sessions to build new habits.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to match methods to their goals, needs, and preferences. That process may combine elements from different approaches as needed.

Session logistics should be confirmed before booking since formats were not specified in the biography. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy day, avoid travel time, and keep continuity when schedules change. Some formats may be shorter check-ins or video visits that do not require travel; confirm what is offered when scheduling.
