Online Therapy Grounded in Practical, Evidence-Informed Care
Mankea Collier, LCPC, often draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), a structured approach that helps people notice unhelpful patterns in thoughts and actions and practice new skills that support day-to-day functioning. CBT can be especially useful when working on stress, anxiety, mood concerns, and behavior change goals.She also incorporates Client-Centered Therapy, which emphasizes a supportive, respectful space where clients can explore what matters most to them at their own pace. This approach can help when someone is feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure where to begin. When emotional intensity or impulsive reactions are part of the picture, elements of Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) may be used to build tools for coping, emotional regulation, and navigating relationships more effectively.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Mankea Collier works collaboratively with clients to identify goals, preferences, and what has or has not worked in the past, then adjusts the pace and strategies accordingly.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options can make it easier to stay consistent with support, whether clients prefer scheduled sessions, real-time conversation, or the convenience of messaging between appointments.
