About Brandy
Brandy Cobbs is an Alabama LICSW with 30 years of professional experience. She helps people who are managing anxiety, depression, relationship and parenting struggles, ADHD challenges, grief, stress, and life transitions. She also supports people facing trauma, addiction concerns, sleep problems, and career or self-esteem issues.
She worked for 25 years with the State of Alabama on foster care, parents at risk of losing their children, and child abuse and neglect intake and crisis work. That background informs how she thinks about family problems, attachment issues, adoption and foster care concerns, and caregiver stress. Her long career includes hands-on crisis response and casework in these areas.
Brandy adds practical coaching skills alongside therapy. She completed ADHD coach training and has recent experience coaching college students with ADHD and women over 50. She notes personal experience with an ADHD diagnosis and uses that to understand everyday executive function struggles and to develop work-arounds for daily tasks.
She describes a straightforward focus on identifying small, manageable changes people can try. Sessions may include brainstorming, planning steps toward goals, and practicing skills to change unhelpful habits. Creative outlets and hobbies are often discussed as tools to rebuild confidence and improve mood.
Brandy is an Episcopalian who is open to discussing clients' spiritual beliefs and how those beliefs affect their mental health. She affirms people of all identities and welcomes clients regardless of sexual orientation or presentation. She accepts international clients and conducts work in English.
Approaches used online and how they fit everyday life
Brandy uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and test small behavior changes. CBT makes problems concrete - thoughts, actions, and moods are examined and practical strategies are tried to reduce anxiety, manage depression, or improve sleep.She also draws on client-centered techniques that prioritize what the person wants to work on, using discussion and reflection to clarify goals. Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills may be introduced for emotion regulation and distress tolerance when strong feelings or impulsive reactions are getting in the way of daily functioning.
Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. Brandy will discuss the methods that match a person’s goals and try things out, adjusting based on what helps. She combines therapeutic and coaching techniques when appropriate and with client agreement.
