About Betty
Betty Collins is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 28 years of experience. She works with adults on relationship and individual transition concerns and addresses a wide range of issues such as stress, anxiety, depression, and addiction.
Her work focuses on helping people notice unhelpful thoughts and patterns. She uses practical, structured methods so clients can try different ways of responding to issues. Conversations aim to identify specific steps a person can take between sessions.
She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) alongside Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), client-centered work, Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT). These approaches are used to address problems like intimacy concerns, grief, trauma, workplace struggles, and parenting stress. Sessions include talking through situations, practicing new skills, and planning small experiments to test what helps.
Collins also supports people dealing with blended family concerns, communication and control issues, infidelity, commitment questions, and the stresses of divorce or separation. She has experience helping people work toward clearer goals in career, performance, and life purpose.
Her style is direct and structured. She helps people reflect on feelings and behaviors, then develops manageable steps forward. To begin, she recommends following the practice's intake path so a first session can be scheduled and the approach discussed.
How her CBT and ACT work in online sessions
Many of her methods are hands-on and goal focused. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical strategies to test and change unhelpful thinking. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice what matters to them and take small actions toward those values despite difficult thoughts or feelings. Client-centered work emphasizes listening and reflection so the person’s own goals guide the work.Choosing the right approach is part of the process. She will discuss the options with each person and decide together which methods fit their situation, goals, and preferences. That collaborative discussion shapes what happens in sessions and what skills are practiced between meetings.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a day, shorten check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It also lets people try exercises or role-plays from a familiar setting and bring real-life situations into discussion without promising specific session types.
