About Collin

Collin Grossruck is a licensed marriage and family therapist with 18 years of experience. He focuses on relationship concerns, trauma recovery, parenting challenges, and anger. He speaks directly and calmly to help people take practical steps forward.

Collin draws on a client-centered way of working that keeps the person's experience central. He listens first, then helps set clear goals. Sessions emphasize what matters right now and concrete strategies to try between meetings.

He also uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy techniques to help people understand patterns in close relationships. That approach looks at how feelings shape connection and communication. For trauma-related concerns he incorporates EMDR to address distressing memories where appropriate.

Collin brings a background as a retired chaplain to his clinical work, which influences how he talks about hope, values, and meaning. He aims to offer respect and a calm presence while helping people sort through painful issues like grief, anger, and post-traumatic stress.

In practical terms he works with concerns such as career stress, compassion fatigue, ADHD, blended family issues, and infidelity. Collin is based in Texas and provides therapy in English. He accepts international clients and uses a subscription model for sessions that can be canceled at any time.

How his approaches translate to online therapy

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on understanding the person's perspective and building goals together. Online sessions using this approach typically involve open conversation, reflecting what matters most, and planning small, doable steps to try between meetings.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps identify how emotions shape interactions in close relationships. In an online setting, that work can include noticing patterns in how people describe interactions, practicing new ways to express needs, and rehearsing different responses during sessions.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, then suggest which methods might fit best. That collaborative decision can be adjusted as progress is tracked over time.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm available options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It can also let people choose meetings that work around work or caregiving schedules and focus on practical changes between sessions.
