About Brandy

Brandy Colson is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Florida and Georgia with 11 years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, family conflict, trauma and parenting challenges. She listens for practical goals and works with clients to find clear steps forward.

Her work focuses on everyday problems that pile up - grief, anger, low self-esteem, career strain, depression, and coping with life changes. She also addresses concerns related to adoption and foster care, blended family dynamics, codependency, and substance issues. Brandy includes relationship and LGBT-related matters among her areas of focus.

Brandy uses approaches drawn from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, and Trauma-Focused Therapy. Sessions aim to identify patterns that keep problems active and replace them with small, manageable actions. She works with clients to set concrete goals and track progress between meetings.

Her practice also covers longer-term and situational stress such as compassion fatigue, hospice and end-of-life issues, and aging-related concerns. For people facing abandonment wounds, infidelity, or communication breakdowns, she focuses on practical steps to restore stability and options.

Brandy frames therapy as a collaborative process. She helps people recognize strengths, experiment with different strategies, and adjust plans when needed. Prospective clients in Florida can expect straightforward, goal-oriented support grounded in social work perspectives.

BHow sessions work

How her approaches translate to online work

Brandy uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and to test small changes that reduce symptoms. CBT is useful for anxiety, low mood, and stress-related issues.

She also draws on Solution-Focused Therapy, which concentrates on identifying immediate goals and building on existing strengths. That approach often suits people who want brief, action-oriented sessions focused on practical solutions.

Choosing the right method is part of the process. She works with clients to decide which approach fits their needs, goals, and preferences, and adjusts the plan if something isn’t working. This collaborative conversation happens early and continues as goals evolve.

Confirm the exact online session options before booking, since the biography does not list specific formats. Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Licensed professionals can use online work to keep momentum between in-person contacts, while keeping the focus on clear goals and measurable steps.
