Approach-Focused Online Therapy with Colleen Clark

Colleen uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help clients notice difficult thoughts and feelings while identifying personal values and taking meaningful action. ACT can be helpful for stress, anxiety, and adapting to life changes by building tolerance for uncomfortable emotions and encouraging value-driven choices.

She also draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to explore how early relationships shape current patterns, improving connection and communication within families and romantic partnerships. This approach can be particularly useful for attachment concerns, abandonment issues, blended family dynamics, and family of origin difficulties.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and Colleen works collaboratively with each person to determine which strategies best match their needs, goals, and preferences. She adapts tools from different methods to fit the individual rather than insisting on a single model.

Online therapy with Colleen is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility around work, caregiving, and daily life. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, access support when schedules are tight, and engage in therapy from familiar settings while working toward meaningful change.
