About Brandy
Brandy Cobbs, LICSW, focuses on helping people regain steady ground when life feels overwhelming. She listens without rush and helps clients set small, doable goals. Brandy combines practical strategies with personal insight to help people move forward at a comfortable pace.
Brandy has worked in social services and child welfare for decades, including many years responding to child abuse, foster care, and crisis situations. She retired from state service after 25 years, then expanded into ADHD coaching while continuing therapeutic work. Her background gives her experience with trauma, parenting struggles, addiction-related concerns, and complex family issues such as adoption and blended families.
She speaks plainly about ADHD from both professional and personal experience, including her own diagnosis and years of living with it. That perspective shapes how she helps people build routines, manage executive function challenges, and find practical work-arounds that fit daily life. She also supports people coping with grief, stress, anxiety, depression, and codependency concerns.
Brandy values creativity and meaningful hobbies as part of healing. She often suggests re-engaging a craft, art, music, or learning project to rebuild confidence and reduce stress. Mindfulness and spiritual questions can be part of sessions when clients want them, and she is open to discussing how faith has helped or hurt a person.
Her approach blends Client-Centered listening with evidence-informed techniques such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and Emotionally-Focused work. Over 30 years of experience inform a flexible style that mixes coaching tools and therapy tasks when appropriate. Brandy welcomes people from all backgrounds and walks of life.
How Brandy Uses Therapy Approaches Online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding a person’s perspective. Sessions center on the client’s priorities and build plans from what matters most to them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and teaches practical skills to change patterns that increase anxiety, depression, or stress.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Brandy will talk with clients about their goals and preferences and together decide which methods to try. She often combines listening-based care with CBT techniques and, when useful, skills from Dialectical Behavior Therapy to manage intense emotions or improve coping.
The biography does not specify which online session formats are offered, so confirm current options before scheduling. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into busy lives, shorten travel time, and allow sessions during a lunch break or between errands. It can also let people use audio-only check-ins when a shorter conversation is needed, or focus on skill practice without commuting. Brandy aims to match the therapy style and schedule to each person’s daily life so progress feels realistic and manageable.
