About Brandy
Brandy Colson is a licensed clinical social worker with more than 11 years of experience. She holds LCSW and CSW credentials and practices in Florida. Brandy focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, grief, anger, and the fallout from trauma and abuse.
She approaches each person as the expert on their own life and looks for strengths to build on. Sessions tend to be straightforward and practical, with attention to what feels manageable day to day.
Background and approach
The goal is to help people find clearer ways to cope and make changes that matter. Brandy uses methods drawn from cognitive behavioral and solution-focused therapies. She also integrates trauma-focused work when past events are shaping current problems.
That combination supports people who want both short-term tools and deeper healing. Her background includes work on family and parenting challenges, caregiving and hospice concerns, addiction-related issues, and relationship stressors. She also supports people dealing with career strain, self-esteem struggles, and the stresses that come with major life changes.
Brandy aims to create a practical plan with each person. She listens for what’s working and what isn’t, then helps set small, doable steps. People who need help sorting priorities, reducing intense reactions, or building healthier habits often find this approach useful.

Evidence-informed approaches for online care
Brandy uses cognitive behavioral therapy and trauma-focused therapy to guide online work. CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, offering practical techniques for anxiety, depression, anger, and everyday stress. Trauma-focused therapy helps people process painful past events and reduce the ways those memories affect current reactions and relationships.Finding the best approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, symptoms, and preferences, then suggest strategies that fit. Together they will adjust the plan over time so the approach meets the client's needs and pace.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Video gives face-to-face interaction for deeper conversation, phone can work when bandwidth is limited, live chat lets someone check in quickly, and messaging supports brief updates or coaching between sessions. These options offer flexibility while keeping focus on practical change and healing.
