Therapeutic approaches and how online sessions support change

Collette uses a blend of evidence-informed methods to help clients address difficult thoughts, emotions and relationship patterns. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people clarify their values, accept difficult feelings without getting stuck, and commit to actions that align with what matters to them - useful for stress, anxiety and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and offers practical strategies for change, often used for anxiety, depression and coping skills. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a supportive, nonjudgmental relationship where the therapist listens deeply and helps clients explore their feelings and resources at their own pace - especially helpful for building self-esteem and processing relational issues.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Collette works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals and preferences, and adjusts the plan as progress unfolds. This partnership helps tailor sessions to practical outcomes while respecting each client’s pace.

Online therapy with Collette is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. These options provide flexibility to schedule sessions around work, family and other commitments, and make it easier to access consistent support from home or wherever is convenient.
