Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support
Collette uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people clarify their values and take meaningful action even when difficult thoughts and feelings are present. ACT is especially useful for anxiety, persistent stress, and life transitions because it focuses on living in line with personal priorities while building psychological flexibility.
She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which helps identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns. CBT is practical and skills-based, often used to address anxiety, depression, and self-esteem issues by teaching strategies for managing symptoms and changing routines.
Client-Centered Therapy informs her relational stance, offering empathic listening and collaborative support to help people feel understood and to draw out their own solutions. This approach is useful for work on self-esteem, grief, relationship concerns, and personal growth.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Collette works collaboratively with each person to assess needs, goals, and preferences, and she adjusts methods over time so therapy fits the individual rather than forcing one model to fit everyone.
Online therapy with Collette is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options provide flexibility for scheduling, allow therapy to fit into busy lives, and make it easier to maintain continuity of care when in-person sessions are not possible. Licensed professionals and therapists can use these formats effectively to support ongoing progress and practical skill development.
