Teletherapy options and therapeutic focus

Colette offers remote sessions that combine structured skills work with reflective exploration. In online meetings she uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help identify and shift unhelpful thought patterns and to practice specific coping strategies for anxiety, panic, and depression. Mindfulness practices are woven into sessions to support present-moment awareness and stress regulation for clients coping with chronic illness, pain, or ongoing worry.

She also draws on elements of Dialectical Behavior Therapy to teach emotion regulation and interpersonal effectiveness skills, and on solution-focused techniques to set concrete, achievable goals for relationships and life transitions. The overall approach aims to balance practical tools with a respectful inquiry into personal values and meaning.

Remote work is offered through video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, allowing collaboration in formats that fit different needs. Clients who prefer a mix of short skills coaching and longer reflective conversation may find this combination a good match for addressing communication problems, self-esteem work, and grief-related concerns.
