Colleen draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, and Trauma-Focused Therapy to guide her work. Those methods can be used for panic, post-traumatic stress, persistent worry, and anger that gets in the way of relationships or work.

How CBT, EMDR and trauma work in online sessions
Colleen uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors. CBT often focuses on small experiments and homework that reduce anxiety, panic, or anger triggers.She also uses Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, which works with upsetting memories by pairing focused attention with guided processing. EMDR can reduce the intensity of traumatic memories and the strong emotional reactions tied to them.
Trauma-Focused Therapy targets the ways trauma affects daily functioning and relationships. It helps people understand what keeps symptoms going and teaches new skills for coping with reminders or sudden distress.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Colleen will discuss goals, preferences, and how symptoms show up to decide which method to use. She works with clients to adjust techniques if something isn’t helping and to set concrete, achievable goals.
