How CBT, ACT, and Attachment Work Online
Colleen uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people notice and test unhelpful thoughts and patterns. CBT focuses on concrete skills you can practice between sessions to reduce worry, improve mood, or change habits.She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), which helps people accept difficult feelings while committing to values-based actions. ACT is often useful for anxiety, stress, and when avoidance is getting in the way of living the way someone wants.
Attachment-based work looks at how early relationship patterns affect current relationships and emotional responses. This approach can help when communication problems, intimacy concerns, or long-standing trust issues are present.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Colleen will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their goals and preferences and will adjust plans as progress is reviewed. The process involves trying practical tools, tracking what helps, and shifting focus when needed.
