About Brandy
Brandy Colson is a licensed clinical social worker who brings 11 years of practice to conversations about stress, anxiety, trauma, parenting, and ADHD. She works from a practical, strengths-based view and helps people find concrete steps forward. Her style is straightforward and supportive, aimed at parents and adults who want clearer routines and less overwhelm.
She uses simple tools to manage anxiety and stress, and she helps people untangle family conflict and parenting strain.
Background and approach
When trauma or abuse has affected daily life, she focuses on small, manageable changes that promote safety and stability. Brandy also partners with people coping with grief, career shifts, and relationship difficulties. Her training as a licensed clinical social worker - LCSW and CSW - informs a clinical yet down-to-earth practice.
She favors methods that produce day-to-day relief, like identifying patterns, testing new behaviors, and setting short-term goals. Sessions often center on planning practical steps and practicing new skills between meetings. Clients can expect a collaborative approach that honors personal strengths and lived experience.
Brandy helps people set realistic goals, try out different coping strategies, and adjust plans when needed. She explains ideas clearly and keeps sessions focused on what matters now. Over time the aim is to reduce emotional overwhelm and increase confidence in handling life changes.
Brandy draws on experience across family issues, addiction and recovery concerns, grief and end-of-life care, and relationship problems to tailor each person’s plan.
Evidence-informed approaches for online care
Brandy commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Trauma-Focused Therapy in her online work. CBT looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect and teaches practical skills to reduce anxiety and depressive symptoms. Trauma-Focused Therapy focuses on helping people process traumatic experiences and build strategies to manage triggers and flashbacks.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. She will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before, then try methods that match the person’s needs. This collaborative process makes it easier to adjust plans when something isn’t working.
Online options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video lets people use visual cues and longer conversation time. Phone sessions can be a good choice when video is difficult or bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text are useful for brief check-ins, ongoing coaching, or when writing out thoughts feels easier than speaking. These formats add flexibility so therapy can fit around work, parenting, and daily life.
