She is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 16 years of experience. Sessions are offered in English and Spanish and are tailored to each person’s needs.

She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help clients clarify values and take workable steps toward them.

Her style is warm and respectful. She listens without judgment and helps people set realistic goals. Conversations focus on what matters most to the client and on small, practical steps that can be tried between sessions.

Prof. Colin has broad experience addressing trauma and abuse, addiction concerns, anger, sleep difficulties, and mood challenges such as depression and bipolar-related issues. She also supports people with parenting stress, caregiver strain, body image, attachment difficulties, and neurodiversity concerns like autism and Asperger syndrome.

Online options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different schedules and preferences. Getting started involves completing a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a time that works for the client.

Common approaches used in online sessions

Prof. Colin often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice patterns of thought that lead to unhelpful feelings and behaviors, then practice small changes that reduce symptoms. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy is also used to clarify personal values and to guide action toward those values even when hard emotions remain.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what has worked or not worked before. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as progress is made.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video works well for in-depth work and visual cues. Phone sessions can be a simpler option if bandwidth is limited. Live chat or text-based messaging can be useful for brief check-ins, coaching-style support, or for people who prefer written communication. These options make it easier to schedule sessions around work, caregiving, or busy days.
