Approaches that guide online care and change
Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental stance where the therapist listens closely and helps clients explore their values and goals. This approach is useful for building self-esteem, improving relationships, and navigating life transitions because it prioritizes the client’s perspective and pace.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It offers practical tools for managing anxiety, depression, and stress, and can be combined with strategies to address addictive patterns and impulsivity.
Motivational Interviewing supports clients who are ambivalent about change by exploring personal motivations and strengthening commitment. It is particularly helpful for substance use concerns and situations where building sustained motivation is important.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and Colleen collaborates with clients to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. She works with clients to try techniques, adjust plans, and select strategies that feel most effective and acceptable.
Online therapy with a licensed professional offers flexible options such as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules and to receive support from home or work. These formats can increase access to consistent care and allow therapists and clients to maintain momentum between appointments.
