About Colette
Colette Kuznia is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) in Minnesota with 35 years of clinical experience. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, and anger. Her work also covers relationship and family concerns, parenting, grief, work and career issues, intimacy-related problems, ADHD, bipolar concerns, and compassion fatigue.
Colette bases most of her approach on cognitive behavioral health. That means sessions focus on identifying unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and testing new ways of responding. She and a client set clear goals together and check progress as therapy continues.
Sessions are straightforward and practical. People can expect to talk through recent situations that are causing trouble, try small experiments between sessions, and learn specific skills to manage stress and strong feelings. Colette describes the process as collaborative; she helps people break problems down into steps they can act on.
She has worked across many settings during her career and brings that breadth to everyday challenges. Her experience includes supporting people through life changes, career decisions, and the aftereffects of trauma. The focus is on usable tools rather than abstract theory.

How cognitive behavioral approaches fit with online work
Colette uses cognitive behavioral health approaches that focus on spotting and testing thinking and behavior patterns. That approach breaks down problems into specific situations, thoughts, and actions, and helps people practice new responses to stress, anxiety, anger, or low mood. It is helpful for managing workplace frustration, recurring arguments, and daily stressors.She also draws on evidence-based techniques for trauma recovery that focus on stabilizing emotions and developing coping skills. These techniques teach grounding practices and step-by-step strategies to lessen the hold of troubling memories and strong reactions.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Colette treats this as a collaborative process where goals, preferences, and what works in everyday life guide which techniques are used. Clients and therapist check progress and adjust methods together as needed.
