Eddie Collins, LMHC, CAP, provides virtual counseling for adults and couples throughout Florida, with specialized experience in relationships, addiction, trauma, anxiety, depression, and recurring behavioral or emotional patterns. The work helps clients understand what sits beneath the immediate struggle and turn that insight into practical change.

Based in the Bradenton and Ellenton area of Manatee County, 180 Counseling Group serves clients virtually across Florida through collaborative, direct care focused on understanding what is happening, identifying what keeps it going, and practicing a more effective response.

Individual counseling

  • Build relapse-prevention and recovery supports
  • Address relationship impact without shame or avoidance

Trauma counseling

Care that respects the protective responses that helped you survive while helping you reduce the ways old experiences still organize present life.

Anxiety counseling

Support for worry, tension, fear, overthinking, panic, and the exhausting need to anticipate every possible outcome.

What the work looks like

Insight matters when it changes what happens next.

Sessions draw from cognitive-behavioral, strength-based, motivational, relational, and trauma-informed approaches based on clinical fit.

01

See clearly

Name the current problem and the pattern beneath it without minimizing, blaming, or overcomplicating it.

02

Understand the loop

Examine the beliefs, emotions, triggers, and protective responses that keep producing the same result.

03

Practice change

Use concrete skills, reflection, and accountability to build a different response in real life.
