Drunay "Dru" Collins Minch, LPC

Drunay "Dru" Collins Minch is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, relationship strain, intimacy concerns, and major life changes. He works with clients exploring identity and belonging in the LGBTQ+ community and aims to offer steady, human-centered support. Dru keeps sessions collaborative and practical so clients leave with clear next steps.

He uses a warm, humanistic style that centers the client's experience. Sessions usually involve talking through what matters most to the person, naming patterns that get in the way, and trying small changes that build confidence over time. Dru believes each person knows their life best and helps them discover values and choices that fit their goals.

Over four years of practice, Dru has supported people with a wide range of concerns beyond the main specialties. These include attachment issues, commitment and control struggles, blended family challenges, caregiving stress, chronic illness impacts, and interests related to kink and alternative sex culture. He also works with people dealing with abandonment, adoption or foster-care histories, and personality-related patterns.

In sessions he draws on several practical therapies such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, and Client-Centered Therapy. Those approaches are used to help people build coping skills, improve communication, and make changes that matter in day-to-day life.

Dru practices in Texas and conducts therapy in English. He aims to make starting therapy straightforward and collaborative, meeting clients where they are and helping them take the next step toward clearer decision making and stronger resilience.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters most and take actions that match those values. It often involves noticing difficult thoughts and feelings without letting them block meaningful activity. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing small behavior changes to reduce anxiety and improve daily functioning. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns shape current connections and communication, and it can help people build more steady ways of relating.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to pick methods that fit their goals, preferences, and daily life. That means trying approaches, checking what helps, and adjusting the plan together rather than making a one-size-fits-all promise.

The profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Some approaches translate well to remote conversations and practical skill-building, and a therapist can suggest how to structure sessions to match a client's needs and routines.
