Online options and therapeutic style



Dr. Collins offers remote sessions using video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Online work follows the same clinical orientations she uses in person, with an emphasis on tailoring methods to the presenting concerns and preferences of the person seeking care.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is a central approach in her online work. It focuses on identifying thinking and behavior patterns and developing practical strategies to test and change them. Dialectical Behavior Therapy contributes skills for managing intense emotions, tolerating distressing moments, and improving interpersonal interactions. Both approaches aim to provide clear tools that can be practiced between sessions.

Motivational Interviewing is used to explore motivation and ambivalence about change in a collaborative way. Narrative and mindfulness-informed techniques may be incorporated to support reflection and present-moment awareness. The combination of these approaches can suit people looking for structured, skills-based work or for collaborative exploration of goals. Communication options include video, phone, live chat, and text-based messaging.
