About Brandy
Brandy Colson is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 11 years of experience. She holds LCSW credentials in Florida and Georgia and focuses on stress, anxiety, family issues, trauma and abuse, and parenting concerns.
She works with people who need clear, practical steps to manage day-to-day problems. Sessions emphasize identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing different ways of responding. Brandy uses approaches like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and solution-focused work to create short-term, goal-oriented plans.
Her practice also addresses grief, anger, self-esteem, career difficulties, depression, and challenges faced by LGBT clients. Additional areas she supports include abandonment, adoption and foster care matters, blended family issues, codependency, communication problems, and substance-related concerns.
When trauma is central, she draws on trauma-focused methods to help people process difficult events and build coping skills. The work balances skill-building with practical problem solving so people can practice new habits outside sessions.
Brandy describes clients as experts on their own lives and focuses on collaborative problem solving. She uses clear language, measurable goals, and homework between meetings to help people make tangible changes. The first session typically clarifies priorities and outlines concrete next steps.
How her approaches translate to online therapy
Brandy uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify and change thought patterns and behaviors that keep problems going. CBT sessions often include concrete exercises, brief skills practice, and homework assignments to try between meetings.She also uses Solution-Focused Therapy to set clear, short-term goals. This approach breaks larger issues into manageable steps and highlights existing strengths and small changes that move progress forward. When trauma is a focus, Trauma-Focused Therapy is used to process difficult memories and strengthen coping strategies at a pace the client can manage.
Figuring out which approach fits best is part of the work. She collaborates with clients to choose methods that match their goals and preferences, and she adjusts plans as needs change.
