Research-Informed Approaches, Made Accessible Online
Dr. Colleen McMahon draws from evidence-based methods to help clients build practical skills and feel more empowered in daily life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on noticing unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors and practicing alternatives that better support goals, which many people find useful when working through stress, anxiety, low mood, or day-to-day overwhelm.Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients make room for difficult thoughts and feelings while taking steps toward what matters most. It often emphasizes values, flexibility, and committed action, which can be especially helpful when navigating life changes, parenting challenges, or ongoing stress. Mindfulness Therapy adds tools for paying attention to the present moment with more steadiness, supporting emotional balance and clearer decision-making when things feel intense.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Dr. McMahon works collaboratively with clients to identify what fits best based on their needs, goals, and preferences, and she can adjust the plan as therapy unfolds.
