About Drunay
Drunay "Dru" Collins Minch is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) who focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship and intimacy concerns, and coping with life changes. He also works with people exploring identity and belonging within the LGBT community. His style is warm and human-centered, and he aims to make the first steps feel manageable for someone who is worried or unsure.
Dru believes people know their own lives best and offers gentle guidance to help them find clearer direction.
Background and approach
Sessions center on practical skills and honest conversation. He helps clients spot patterns that increase worry and tries out new ways of responding to stress. He draws on several approaches to tailor work to each person.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps with specific thought and behavior patterns. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy supports values-based action when feelings are intense. Attachment-based ideas inform work on closeness and trust in relationships.
Over four years of practice, Dru has supported people facing a wide range of concerns beyond anxiety and relationships. These include adoption and foster care questions, caregiving strain, aging issues, communication and commitment struggles, and sexual identity and kink-related topics. He also addresses personality and mood-related challenges when they affect daily life.
Sessions aim to be collaborative and down-to-earth. Dru focuses on usable tools, clearer decision making, and building resilience. He invites people to explore what matters most and to try small changes that add up over time.
Therapeutic approaches that work well online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then identifying values and taking small steps in the direction that matters. This approach can help when anxiety or life changes make it hard to move forward. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns with clear, practiceable tools such as experiments, thought records, and behavioral changes. CBT often helps with reducing worry and improving day-to-day functioning. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how connection and trust affect relationships and helps people build safer ways of relating with others.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match goals, preferences, and the concerns at hand. Plans can be adjusted over time so the process stays practical and relevant.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation for deeper interpersonal work. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can be easier during a busy day. Chat and messaging are useful for short check-ins, tracking progress, or getting support between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into daily life and to continue work consistently.
