How these approaches translate to online therapy
Colleen uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing as part of her approach. CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, with practical exercises and homework to try between sessions. EMDR is used to process distressing memories and reduce their emotional intensity using a structured set of procedures. Trauma-Focused Therapy emphasizes understanding how past events affect current coping and helps build skills to manage triggers and emotional reactions.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Colleen will talk with a client about goals, symptoms, and preferences, then recommend which methods to try first. She adjusts the plan over time based on what is helpful and what the client prefers.
The original biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, cut travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It can also make it simpler to continue work between sessions, since homework and tools can be discussed and assigned during virtual meetings.
