Online Approaches for Trauma Recovery and Emotional Growth
Colleen Tretton integrates several evidence-informed methods into online work to address stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship concerns, and trauma. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors while building practical skills for managing symptoms and improving daily functioning. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) combines emotion regulation, distress tolerance, interpersonal effectiveness, and mindfulness skills to help people tolerate intense feelings and improve relationships. Mindfulness Therapy cultivates present-moment awareness and self-compassion to reduce reactivity and increase emotional clarity, which can be especially useful for anxiety, shame, and post-traumatic stress.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Colleen works with each person to assess needs, goals, and preferences, adapting techniques from these modalities so the treatment fits the individual rather than forcing a single method. This collaborative stance helps clients feel more engaged and invested in their progress.
Online therapy makes these approaches accessible through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering scheduling flexibility and easier access from home or other locations. Licensed professionals can deliver structured therapy, teach coping skills, and support changes in daily life using these formats, helping people maintain continuity of care when in-person options are limited.
