About Brandy
Brandy Cobbs is an AL LICSW with 30 years of professional experience. She has worked in social work and clinical settings since the 1990s and now sees adults who want help with everyday pressures and life transitions.
She helps people manage relationship strain, parenting challenges, stress and anxiety, and issues around attention and executive functioning. She also works with grief, trauma and abuse, addictions, self-esteem, and career concerns. Blended family issues and communication problems are included among the family topics she lists.
Her approach blends client-centered work with practical strategies from cognitive behavioral therapy and elements from dialectical behavior therapy and emotionally focused methods. Sessions often look at small steps clients can try between meetings. She also uses coaching-style techniques when agreed to by the client.
Cobbs draws on long experience with foster care, child protection, and work with parents at risk. She has added ADHD coach training and has recent experience coaching college students and older adults with ADHD. She also speaks from lived experience as someone diagnosed with ADHD as an adult and as a parent who navigated infertility and NICU care.
Outside of clinical work she pursues creative interests such as music, art, crafting and poetry. She views hobbies and learning as practical tools for improving mood, building confidence, and making daily life more manageable.
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-centered therapy focuses on the client's perspective and priorities. It involves listening closely, reflecting what matters to the client, and helping them set their own goals. This approach is useful when someone wants a supportive person to talk things through and to identify next steps.Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It offers concrete techniques such as tracking thoughts, testing beliefs, and trying small behavioral experiments to reduce anxiety and improve mood. CBT is often helpful for stress, anxiety, depression, and routine changes in blended households.
Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) contributes skills for managing strong emotions and improving communication. Simple DBT tools can help with anger, intense reactions, and keeping relationships steadier during difficult conversations.
Choosing the right mix of methods is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each client to decide which approaches fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That decision can change over time as priorities shift.
Confirm the current session formats before booking since the biography does not list them. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, and avoid travel time. It can also support people who need to work on organization, executive functioning, or planning practical changes within their home and family routines.
