She helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, grief, relationship strain, trauma and abuse, and anger.

She keeps sessions straightforward and practical. Colleen creates a calm space where people can talk about thoughts and feelings without judgment.

Colleen uses methods that address both current problems and past painful events.

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, or EMDR, is one of the approaches she uses for processing difficult memories.

Colleen works in Michigan and offers care in English. To begin, clients use the site’s Start Therapy flow to match and schedule sessions according to the therapist’s availability.

How Colleen’s approaches can work online

Colleen uses cognitive behavioral techniques to help people change unhelpful thoughts and the behaviors that follow. CBT sessions focus on concrete skills like grounding, thought records, and behavioral experiments to reduce anxiety and anger. EMDR, or Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, helps people process stuck or painful memories so they cause less distress in daily life. Trauma-focused therapy centers on safely addressing traumatic events and building coping skills to manage reactions and triggers.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences and suggest methods that fit. Over time the plan can shift based on what is most helpful and what the client notices working in their life.

Online therapy can make regular sessions easier to fit into a busy schedule. It can reduce travel time, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and make follow-up work simpler to complete between meetings. Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Licensed professionals can adapt CBT, trauma-focused work, and EMDR tools for remote sessions to support progress while keeping treatment practical and focused.
