Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care with Colleen Phillips
Colleen Phillips integrates client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) into her online practice. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening with empathy and building a respectful, collaborative relationship so clients feel heard and understood - it is often helpful for people facing life transitions, relationship concerns, or low self-esteem. CBT is a structured approach that helps identify and change unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors, which can reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression and improve coping skills. DBT provides practical skills for managing intense emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness, making it a useful option for those dealing with strong emotional reactions or relationship difficulties.Choosing the right therapeutic approach is part of the process, and Colleen will work together with clients to determine the best fit based on individual needs, goals, and preferences. That collaborative process allows adjustments over time so care aligns with what feels most effective for each person.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging - which can make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules or reach care from home. Working with licensed professionals in these formats supports continuity of care, accessibility, and the ability to apply strategies learned in sessions directly to daily life.
