Evidence-based approaches and how they work online
This therapist draws on person-centered care alongside evidence-based therapeutic techniques that help with emotional processing and behavior change.

It is useful for building self-compassion and gaining clarity during transitions.Colleen also uses approaches aimed at processing difficult emotions like grief and trauma and improving communication. These approaches break large problems into manageable steps, teach practical communication skills, and help you handle upsetting memories or reactions in ways that reduce their hold over day-to-day life.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with you about your needs, goals, and preferences and then try methods that fit your situation. You and the therapist adjust the plan over time based on what helps most.
