About Drunay
Drunay "Dru" Collins Minch uses a warm, human-centered counseling style to help people facing stress, anxiety, relationship and intimacy concerns. He emphasizes collaboration and respect, and treats each person as the expert on their own life. Dru holds the LPC credential and practices in Texas while working with English-speaking clients, including international appointments.
In sessions he draws on evidence-informed methods like acceptance and commitment approaches, cognitive behavioral strategies, and attachment-focused work.
Background and approach
He helps people notice what matters most, build practical coping skills, and try small changes that add up over time. Conversations are straightforward and grounded in everyday concerns rather than clinical jargon. Dru has four years of professional experience supporting people through life transitions.
He also addresses issues related to identity and belonging, including concerns common in the LGBT community. Other areas of focus include intimacy and relationship patterns, communication difficulties, commitment and control issues, and stress linked to caregiving or health challenges.
Additional topics Dru supports include abandonment and attachment wounds, adoption and foster-care related struggles, aging and geriatric issues, and a range of personality and mood-related concerns. He brings a nonjudgmental stance to conversations about alternative sexual cultures, BDSM and kink, and helps people set boundaries and improve safety in those contexts. Sessions are available through a variety of online formats.
Starting therapy begins with a short matching questionnaire and scheduling according to the therapist's availability. Dru aims to create a calm, practical space for people to try new ways of coping and relating.
Approach-driven online therapy for relationships and anxiety
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify their values and take small steps toward a meaningful life. It emphasizes noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them and is useful for anxiety, stress, and life changes.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with real-world actions. It offers concrete tools for managing anxiety, improving mood, and changing behavior patterns that affect relationships.
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns shape current connections and emotional responses. It can help people understand intimacy, commitment, and communication challenges and practice new ways of relating.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist collaborates with each person to choose methods that fit their goals, preferences, and situation. This often means trying a few techniques and adjusting the plan together over time.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for in-depth conversations and nonverbal cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging work well for brief updates, skill practice, or when written reflection helps. These options make therapy more flexible for people juggling schedules or living in different locations.
