About Brandy Cobbs
Brandy Cobbs is an Alabama-based licensed clinician with three decades of experience helping individuals and families navigate relationship, parenting, ADHD, trauma, grief, addiction, and life-change challenges. She holds the LICSW credential - Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker - and has a long history of public service, including 25 years with the State of Alabama working with foster children, parents at risk of losing their children, and child abuse and neglect intake and crisis response. In November 2021 she retired from that role and expanded her professional focus to include ADHD coach training and certification.
Her work draws on both professional training and personal experience. Brandy was diagnosed with ADHD at age 26 and has lived with that diagnosis in different stages of life, which informs her approach to ADHD coaching and therapy. She has recent experience working with college students, women over 50, and parents of children with ADHD, and she integrates techniques from coaching and therapy when it serves the client and is mutually agreed upon.
Brandy brings additional lived insight from infertility, multiple miscarriages, and a prematurity/NICU experience with her youngest child, as well as from raising two young adult sons. She values creative and intellectual pursuits - art, crafting, music, poetry, and language learning - and believes rekindling such interests can strengthen self-esteem and support broader life changes. Open to spirituality and mindfulness practices, she identifies as an involved and questioning Episcopalian and is willing to explore how religion has helped or harmed a client's well-being. She affirms people across identities and welcomes anyone seeking help with ADHD-related issues or her other specialty areas. Her work focuses on identifying goals, creating small actionable steps, and offering a space to brainstorm, vent, and gain insight to reduce stress and open new opportunities.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care
Brandy Cobbs draws from client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) to tailor care to each person's needs. Client-centered therapy emphasizes empathy, active listening, and the client's own goals, making it well suited for people seeking a supportive space to explore identity, relationships, and life transitions. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and developing practical skills to change behaviors and mood, which can be helpful for anxiety, depression, and stress-related problems. DBT offers concrete strategies for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, and is often useful for people experiencing intense emotions, relationship conflict, or difficulties with impulse control.Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Brandy works collaboratively with clients to determine what fits best based on their needs, goals, and preferences. She may integrate techniques from different approaches when that combination supports progress, and decisions about methods are made together.
Online therapy with Brandy can take place by video call, phone session, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for busy schedules, caregivers, and those living far from traditional offices. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, access support from home or work, and use modalities that match a client's comfort and lifestyle while working toward meaningful change.
