About Betty
Betty Collins is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas with 28 years of experience. She focuses on helping adults navigate stress, anxiety, relationship and intimacy concerns, self-esteem struggles, substance issues, grief, and life transitions. She also supports people facing workplace and parenting pressures and those exploring questions of identity and purpose.
Her style is direct and practical. Sessions are conversational and goal-oriented. She listens, reflects what she hears, and helps clients name patterns that get in the way.
Background and approach
From there she works with each person to try different tools and ways of responding. Betty uses a mix of approaches so therapy fits the person, not the other way around. She draws on cognitive-behavioral strategies to shift unhelpful thinking, acceptance and commitment ideas to clarify values, and client-centered ways of holding a nonjudgmental space.
Mindfulness and emotion-focused ideas also inform her work when feelings need to be understood and processed. People who come to her often want help with communication problems, commitment issues, blended family tension, infidelity, or challenges at work. She also supports those dealing with trauma, addiction, and ADHD-related concerns.
Sessions aim to build clearer choices and practical steps for daily life. Her approach blends coaching and counseling techniques to foster change. New clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions based on availability.
Therapy is offered in English and delivered through various online formats to fit busy schedules.
How her approaches translate to online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people clarify what matters most and take actions that reflect those values. Online ACT sessions often include practical exercises and simple behavioral steps to try between meetings, which can help with anxiety, life transitions, and issues around meaning and purpose.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is about spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing new ways of thinking and acting. In remote sessions this can look like homework exercises, thought records sent by message, and short skill practices during video calls to address stress, depression, and workplace difficulties.
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) centers on understanding feelings and improving emotional connection. In a virtual setting the therapist helps name emotions, practice new responses, and rehearse conversations so clients feel more confident in real-life interactions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist collaborates with each person to choose methods that match their goals and preferences and adjusts those methods over time based on what helps most.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video, phone, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and role practice, phone sessions can fit shorter check-ins or lower bandwidth, and messaging supports brief check-ins or ongoing coaching-style feedback between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life.
