Evidence-based approaches and online care
Colleen draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on skills and understanding. One common approach helps people learn specific coping skills to manage anxiety and panic - practical strategies are taught and practiced so they can be used when symptoms arise. Another focus is on processing trauma and its effects by gently addressing painful memories and building new ways to respond to triggers, which supports recovery and daily functioning.Choosing the right approach is a team effort. Colleen works collaboratively to identify which methods fit a person's goals and preferences, and she adjusts the plan as progress is made. Clients are involved in setting goals and deciding which techniques feel most helpful.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when a more personal connection is wanted. Phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is limited or when a quieter, shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging suit brief touchpoints, ongoing coaching, or times when writing feels easier than speaking. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy schedule and to keep continuity between sessions.
