About Betty
Betty Collins is a Licensed Professional Counselor - LPC in Texas with 28 years of clinical experience. She helps people who feel stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure how to move forward. Her style is direct and adaptable, focused on real change in everyday life.
Betty works with adults facing stress and anxiety, relationship and intimacy concerns, self-esteem struggles, and life transitions. She also supports people dealing with grief, trauma and abuse, addictions, and career or workplace strain.
Background and approach
Clients often bring practical goals like improved communication, clearer boundaries, or better coping skills. Her approach blends client-centered listening with evidence-based methods such as cognitive behavioral techniques and acceptance-based practices. Sessions typically involve identifying patterns, testing small changes, and building skills the client can use between meetings.
Therapy is paced to fit each person’s needs and goals. Betty also draws on emotion-focused and dialectical strategies when emotions run high or relationships need repair. She aims to create a calm space to reflect, name feelings, and try new ways of responding.
She describes counseling as a partnership where the client’s values guide decisions. Outside of relationship and personal transition work, Betty offers coaching-style support for performance issues at work or school. She helps people access their strengths and organize steps toward specific outcomes.
If someone is ready to take a step toward change, she offers practical guidance and steady encouragement.
Approach-focused online therapy that fits your life
Betty uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. CBT is often helpful for anxiety, stress, and mood concerns because it breaks problems into manageable steps. She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which helps people clarify what matters to them and take small actions toward those values even when feelings are difficult.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Betty treats the choice of methods as collaborative and will help identify which tools fit a person's goals, needs, and preferences. Together they track progress and adjust strategies when something is not working.
Online sessions include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video lets people read body language and have a fuller conversation. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers no camera. Live chat and messaging are useful for brief check-ins, skill practice, or when a shorter, flexible touchpoint is needed. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, family, or other commitments.
