Remote session options and therapeutic methods
Collette provides online support using a blend of techniques she commonly employs in her in-person work. She typically uses cognitive behavioral techniques to help clarify patterns of thought and behavior, and she pairs those with relaxation exercises to address acute stress and physiological tension. She also incorporates writing and journaling as tools for reflection and tracking progress.
This combination is suited to people who want a hands-on, collaborative process and who are willing to learn and try different methods between sessions. Collette frames work around skill building and practical exercises while remaining open to drawing from other approaches when appropriate.
Remote sessions are available by video, by phone, and through live chat or text-based messaging. These formats are used to offer flexibility in how people connect and to support ongoing communication between scheduled meetings.
