Brandy Cobbs, LICSW

Brandy Cobbs, LICSW, helps people facing major life transitions and the everyday strain of parenting, work, and relationships. She brings calm, practical guidance and a long history of helping people sort through anxiety, stress, grief, addiction concerns, and challenges around attention and self-worth.

She spent 25 years working for the State of Alabama in foster care, child protection, and crisis intake before stepping away from that role. Since then she added ADHD coach training and certification and has worked with college students, women over 50, and parents coping with attention differences. She speaks from both professional and personal experience, including her own ADHD diagnosis and parenting through infertility and NICU challenges.

Counseling sessions focus on small, realistic changes. She uses straightforward talk, problem-solving, and practical tools to manage emotions, improve sleep, reduce anger, and rebuild confidence. Creative interests like art, music, and hobbies often become part of the plan to boost well-being.

Brandy values mindfulness and is comfortable discussing how spirituality affects mental health, while avoiding a narrowly religious approach. She affirms people across a range of identities and welcomes conversations about sexual orientation and gender without claiming special LGBTQIA+ training.

Many clients come for help with midlife shifts, career decisions, parenting stress, or coping with trauma and loss. Her work often blends coaching techniques with therapeutic approaches when clients and she agree this will help reach practical goals.

How Brandy’s Approaches Translate to Online Work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what matters to the person, helping them feel understood while they set the pace for change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thought and behavior patterns and adds concrete skills to reduce anxiety, improve sleep, and change unhelpful routines. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) supplies practical tools for managing strong emotions, reducing impulsive reactions, and improving relationships.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Brandy will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most practical. Together they decide whether to emphasize CBT skills, emotion-focused work, DBT strategies, or a mix that includes coaching techniques when appropriate.

Confirm current session options before booking, as formats are not listed here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into busy lives, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It can also let people work on executive function and ADHD strategies between appointments, use worksheets and creative exercises during sessions, and keep momentum for change when schedules are tight.
