Therapeutic Approaches and Accessible Online Care
Colleen draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help clients clarify their values and build a life they find meaningful. ACT focuses on accepting difficult thoughts and feelings while committing to actions that align with what matters most, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, and motivation challenges.
Attachment-Based Therapy is used to explore how early relationships shape current patterns in intimacy and trust. This approach helps people understand relationship dynamics, repair attachment wounds, and build more secure connections with others.
Colleen also uses Client-Centered Therapy principles, offering a respectful, nonjudgmental space where clients guide the pace and focus of work. This helps people feel heard and supported while they explore goals, make decisions, and practice new ways of relating to themselves and others.
Determining the right approach is part of the collaborative process. Colleen works with clients to identify their needs, goals, and preferences and then tailors techniques from these approaches to fit each person’s situation.
Online therapy formats such as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging make it easier to access care around work, caregiving, and daily life. These options offer flexibility in scheduling and communication style while enabling licensed professionals and therapists to provide consistent, ongoing support.
