About Drunay

Drunay "Dru" Collins Minch uses a systemic lens to help people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, intimacy concerns, and major life changes. He brings a warm, collaborative manner and treats each person as the expert on their own life. Dru aims to help clients find clearer direction, build resilience, and feel more grounded as they move through difficult moments.

He listens for patterns in how people relate to others and to themselves, and helps identify small shifts that can change daily life.

Background and approach

Sessions often focus on practical skills for handling anxiety and on clearer communication when trust or intimacy feels strained. People exploring LGBTQ+ identity and belonging are a common focus area in his work. Dru draws on client-centered practices that prioritize a person’s goals and values.

He also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy tools to offer concrete strategies for stress management and coping with change. Attachment-based ideas inform how he talks about connection and safety in relationships. With four years of clinical experience and a Licensed Professional Counselor credential, he works from Texas and communicates in English.

Therapy sessions can include conversations about abandonment, adoption and foster care experiences, blended family concerns, caregiving stress, and sexual expression topics like kink and BDSM when relevant. His style is straightforward and respectful. He helps people break problems into manageable steps and supports them as they practice new ways of relating.

Beginning therapy is presented as a collaborative process where clients set the pace and goals.

Online support

Online approaches that focus on relationships and life change

Systemic work looks at how people connect and influence one another. It helps identify interaction patterns that keep problems going and suggests small changes that can shift daily life. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages noticing difficult thoughts and feelings while committing to actions that match personal values, which can help with stress and transitions.

Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to how early connections shape current relationships and feelings of safety. That approach can be useful when intimacy, trust, or attachment concerns are central to someone’s difficulties. Dru will collaborate with each person to choose which approaches fit best based on their goals and preferences rather than assuming one method suits everyone.

Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video lets people use visual cues for deeper conversation. Phone calls can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text sessions work well for shorter check-ins, ongoing support, or when typing feels more comfortable. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and different life routines.
