Online support

Online approaches for trauma and anxiety care

Colleen uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and EMDR alongside trauma-focused techniques to address stress, anxiety, and traumatic memories. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors to reduce symptoms like panic and social anxiety. EMDR involves focused processing of upsetting memories to reduce their emotional charge and can be helpful for post-traumatic stress and trauma-related symptoms. Trauma-focused therapy brings attention to how past events affect current reactions and builds coping skills to manage triggers and strong emotions.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Colleen will discuss how each method works and tailor the plan to a person’s goals and comfort level. She checks in regularly so adjustments can be made as progress unfolds.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video lets people work face to face when that helps. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier to fit into a work break. Messaging and live chat allow shorter check-ins, written reflections, or more frequent touchpoints between longer sessions. These options make it easier to stay consistent with care and use therapy in day-to-day life.
