She also supports people facing career questions and LGBT-related concerns. Colleen frames therapy as a collaborative process where the client’s needs guide each session.

She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Solution-Focused Therapy to help identify unhelpful patterns and build concrete coping strategies.

How Colleen’s approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and aligning therapy with what the person most wants to address. It focuses on understanding a person’s point of view and shaping sessions around their goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and behaviors interact and gives specific tools to change patterns that contribute to anxiety, depression, or stress. Solution-Focused Therapy targets small, practical changes and builds on what already works to create forward progress.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with the client about goals and preferences, try approaches that fit, and adjust what’s used based on the client’s response. That collaborative process helps tailor sessions so they feel useful and realistic for everyday life.
