Drunay "Dru" Collins Minch, LPC

Drunay "Dru" Collins Minch is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship challenges, intimacy concerns, and coping with life changes. He works with people exploring identity and belonging in the LGBTQ+ community. Dru aims to create a warm, human-centered space where clients can speak honestly and feel heard.

He uses practical, talk-based therapy to help people name what matters and choose small steps that match their values. Sessions emphasize clear goals, skills people can practice between meetings, and checking what actually helps. This keeps work focused and realistic for busy lives.

Dru draws on a mix of approaches including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based work, and Cognitive Behavioral tools. He blends these methods to match each person’s situation rather than following a fixed script. The goal is to reduce distress, improve communication, and restore a sense of control over everyday problems.

With four years of clinical experience, Dru brings calm, steady support while helping people try new ways of handling difficult feelings. He believes clients are the experts on their lives and offers guidance, feedback, and practical strategies. He accepts clients in Texas and also works with some international clients.

Starting therapy is framed as a partnership: Dru helps set aims, track progress, and adjust the plan as needed. He invites anyone ready to explore identity, relationships, or life transitions to consider a first conversation and see if the fit feels right.

How these approaches translate to online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying what matters to you and taking small committed steps toward those values, even when difficult feelings are present. It helps with anxiety, stress, and life transitions by teaching practical ways to act in line with your priorities. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns shape current connections and feelings. It helps people improve communication, reduce repeated relationship patterns, and feel more secure in close relationships. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and then practices specific skills to change unhelpful patterns; it is useful for anxiety, mood, and coping skills training.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist collaborates with each person to choose or blend methods that match their goals and preferences. Sessions are adjusted over time based on what helps, with regular check-ins about progress and next steps.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current online options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people try therapy with professionals across regions, which can help those seeking a therapist familiar with specific concerns such as LGBTQ+ identity or aging-related issues.
