About Betty
Betty Collins is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 28 years of clinical experience. She works with adults on issues such as stress, anxiety, relationship and intimacy concerns, self-esteem, life transitions, addictions, trauma, grief, parenting challenges, anger, career questions, and depression.
She describes her work as focused on growth and change for individual adults and on relationship concerns. She also offers life coaching and has experience assisting people in professional roles like employees, students, athletes, and performance artists who want to get more from their abilities and productivity.
Her sessions combine several therapy methods to address practical problems and patterns. The approaches she uses include Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). She uses flexible strategies to respond to what each person brings to a session.
Betty emphasizes helping clients identify the challenges they face and naming the feelings and reactions that go with them. She reflects what clients say and how they act so people can see repeating patterns and try different responses.
She also has training in mediation and works as a collaborative law counseling facilitator. For someone who wants both practical tools and reflective conversation, her practice mixes skill-building with deeper emotional work.
To start, readers are asked to use the service's matching process to schedule a first session and complete a short onboarding questionnaire.
How Betty blends EFT and skills-based therapy online
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) focuses on identifying and naming hard-to-see emotions and the interaction patterns that keep people stuck. It is often used when relationship patterns, attachment and intense emotions are central concerns.Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice their thoughts and feelings without getting pushed around by them, then choose actions that reflect their values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches concrete strategies to change unhelpful patterns.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Betty will help you decide which methods fit your goals, combining EFT, ACT, CBT, or other approaches as needed. That decision is collaborative and may change over time as your needs shift.
The practical benefits of remote work include easier fitting sessions into a busy week, shorter check-ins when time is limited, and options that can reduce travel.
