About Brandy
Brandy Cobbs is an Alabama LICSW with 30 years of experience. She works with adults on relationship concerns, parenting questions, ADHD, grief, addiction, anxiety, depression, and family of origin issues. Brandy also supports people dealing with career stress, caregiver strain, and compassion fatigue.
She spent 25 years working for the State of Alabama with foster children, parents at risk of losing custody, and child abuse and neglect intake and crisis work. Since retiring from that role she has added ADHD coach training and certification, and has recent work with college students and older women managing ADHD and executive functioning challenges.
Brandy speaks from both professional and personal experience. She was diagnosed with ADHD as an adult and has navigated parenting through infertility, prematurity, and NICU stays. She draws on creative interests - music, crafting, poetry - to suggest practical outlets that can boost self-esteem and reduce stress.
Her clinical work uses familiar methods such as client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, emotionally focused therapy, and existential approaches. In sessions she helps people identify small, doable steps toward goals and develops strategies to manage day-to-day challenges.
She is open to discussing spirituality and mindfulness when relevant and is affirming of all identities. Brandy notes she does not provide restrictive Christian-based counseling and welcomes conversations about how religion has helped or harmed a person.
How Brandy uses therapeutic approaches online
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and supporting the person’s own goals. The therapist follows the client’s concerns and helps them identify steps that feel doable, which can help with issues like self-esteem, relationship patterns, and parenting stress.Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact. It helps people test unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors, which is useful for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and managing ADHD-related routines.
Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) provides practical skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. These skills can help with anger, relationship conflict, and overwhelming stress.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Brandy will work with each person to decide which methods fit their needs and goals, and she may combine elements from different approaches when that makes sense.
The therapist’s profile does not list specific online session formats, so confirm the available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins when schedules require, and reduce travel time. Licensed professionals often adapt exercises and skill practice so they work well by video or phone, depending on what the client prefers.
