Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support
Colleen draws from client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, and mindfulness approaches to shape her work. Client-centered therapy emphasizes empathic listening and collaboration - it helps people feel heard and supports exploration of self-worth, relationship patterns, and life transitions. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) focuses on the connections between thoughts, emotions, and behaviors and teaches practical skills for managing anxiety, depression, and stress. Mindfulness therapy introduces simple attention and awareness practices that can reduce reactivity and help with emotional regulation, which is useful for anxiety, trauma-related symptoms, and low mood.Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Colleen works collaboratively with each person to identify which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and adapts techniques over time as progress unfolds. This shared decision making helps tailor sessions to what matters most to the client.
Online therapy formats - including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging - make it easier to access consistent support around busy schedules and life changes. These options offer flexibility in communication style and timing, allowing licensed professionals and therapists to use evidence-based tools in ways that suit each individual’s routine and comfort level.
