About Drunay
Drunay "Dru" Collins Minch is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas who focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship and intimacy concerns, and navigating major life changes. He also works with people exploring identity and belonging within the LGBT community.
His way of working is warm and human-centered, and he aims to help clients find clearer direction and greater resilience in everyday life. Dru uses somatic ideas alongside talking therapy to help people notice how their body holds stress.
Background and approach
He blends practical strategies with conversations about values and attachment patterns. Sessions are guided by the person in front of him rather than a fixed script. People who come to Dru often need help after big shifts, or when long-standing patterns make relationships feel stuck.
He draws on cognitive and acceptance-based tools to shift unhelpful thinking and to make space for new choices. He also pays attention to how past losses or abandonment can shape current fears and closeness. Drunay has four years of clinical experience as an LPC and brings a steady, respectful presence to sessions.
He aims to balance practical coping skills with deeper exploration of meaning and identity. Clients can expect a collaborative process that respects their pace and priorities. Dru invites questions, honest feedback, and a shared approach to setting goals and tracking progress.
How somatic and acceptance-based approaches work online
Somatic work helps people notice physical sensations that link to stress and emotion, and then uses movement, breath, or grounding to shift those responses. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying personal values and using small, practical steps to live in ways that matter despite difficult thoughts and feelings. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns of connection and safety in relationships to help people change how they relate to others and to themselves.Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work together with each person to decide which methods feel most helpful. This collaboration lets goals, preferences, and real-life needs shape the plan rather than forcing one single model.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions around work, family, and travel. They also allow sessions to continue when in-person meetings are not possible, while keeping the same therapeutic focus on body awareness, values, and relationship patterns.
