About Colleen
Her work often begins by listening closely to what matters most to each person. She uses a client-centered style that keeps the pace set by the individual. That can mean naming patterns in relationships, noticing how the body reacts to stress, or practicing simple mindfulness skills to reduce overwhelm.
Colleen also brings elements of Dialectical Behavior Therapy and motivational interviewing into sessions when helpful. These approaches help with emotional regulation, improving communication, and setting realistic goals. Somatic methods are used when paying attention to bodily sensations can unlock emotional awareness.
She supports people facing grief, depression, relationship strain, caregiver stress, and transitions such as divorce or midlife change. Colleen also works with issues linked to attachment, autism spectrum concerns, dissociation, and shame or guilt.
Sessions aim to build coping skills and clearer self-understanding. Colleen encourages collaborative skill-building tailored to each person’s needs. To begin, she asks people to identify a few practical goals and then helps plan small, doable steps toward them.

How her approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following the person's lead. Online sessions using this approach often involve open conversation, reflecting back what the person shares, and helping set goals that feel realistic for daily life.Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches specific skills for managing intense emotions and improving relationships. In remote sessions these skills can be practiced together, with the therapist coaching through grounding exercises and role-play for better communication.
Mindfulness Therapy brings attention to the present moment through simple breathing and body-awareness exercises. These short practices can be guided during a session and then adapted to fit into a busy routine.
Finding the right fit is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to choose approaches that match the client's needs, goals, and preferences. Together they review what helps and adjust the plan as progress is made.
The biography does not list specific online formats, so confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into daily life by reducing travel, allowing for shorter check-ins when needed, and letting people join from quieter surroundings or during a break. Licensed professionals often adapt exercises so they work well over a screen or phone call.
