About Brandy

Brandy Colson is a licensed clinical social worker who focuses on practical, goal-oriented care. She brings 11 years of experience to sessions and helps people manage stress, anxiety, grief, and major life changes. Brandy also supports those facing relationship strain, parenting challenges, and effects of trauma and abuse.

Her approach centers on clear steps and usable tools. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and create new habits. Solution-Focused Therapy helps set small, reachable goals and track progress over time.

Brandy believes clients are the experts in their own lives. She listens for strengths and builds on what already works. Sessions are collaborative, with an emphasis on practical skills people can use between meetings.

Her background includes work across family and individual concerns, including adoption and foster care, blended family issues, substance problems, and end-of-life matters. She also addresses ADHD, compassion fatigue, and workplace stress.

Brandy holds LCSW and CSW credentials and practices in Florida. She will work with each person to set clear goals, track change, and adjust plans as needed. The focus is on helping people move forward with tools that fit their daily life.

How Brandy’s Approaches Translate to Online Therapy

Brandy uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice thoughts that lead to upsetting feelings and to practice different ways of responding. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, and managing daily stress. Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on small, practical steps toward the changes a person wants to see and tracks progress with simple goals.

Choosing a therapeutic approach is part of the work. Brandy collaborates with each person to pick methods that match their goals and day-to-day needs. She will discuss what seems most useful and adjust the plan as progress is made.

If you are considering online sessions, confirm the current session options before booking since formats are not specified here. Online therapy can make it easier to schedule appointments around work, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also supports continuing care during life changes so therapy can fit into a busy routine rather than adding extra steps.
