How Colleen’s Approaches Work Online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening closely to each person and following their lead. It helps when someone needs empathy, understanding, and a space to make sense of feelings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect and offers concrete tools to change unhelpful thinking and behavior. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, and stress that get in the way of daily life.Finding the right approach is a team effort. Colleen will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as progress is made.
Online sessions use video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video works well for full conversations and visual cues. Phone calls can be simpler when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and messaging suit quick check-ins, brief coaching, or clients who prefer typed communication. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to keep consistent momentum toward goals.
