About Colleen
Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Pennsylvania with 18 years of experience. Colleen Parfitt focuses on stress, anxiety, relationships, trauma and abuse, self-esteem, and depression. She speaks English and offers services within Pennsylvania.
Colleen works with individuals and adolescents to address how past hurt and current pressures affect daily life. She helps people untangle feelings like guilt, shame, and isolation. Sessions concentrate on practical skills for managing panic, social anxiety, and mood symptoms.
Her approach emphasizes collaboration. She listens for patterns in relationships and communication, and then she helps clients try new ways of responding. Concrete tools and small behavioral changes are central, rather than long lectures or abstract theories.
Colleen also supports people dealing with attachment issues, control struggles, forgiveness, and searching for life purpose. Therapy may include practicing communication, grounding techniques for panic, and making sense of traumatic memories at a manageable pace.
She uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide work on post-traumatic stress, panic attacks, and ongoing mood disorders. Progress is paced to the individual and reviewed regularly. Sessions use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time, and prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire before scheduling a first session.

Evidence-based approaches and remote care
Colleen uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people manage symptoms and build coping skills. Two common approaches she draws on are trauma-focused methods that help people process painful memories in smaller steps, and cognitive-behavioral style work that identifies unhelpful thought patterns and practices new reactions. Trauma-focused approaches aim to reduce the hold of traumatic memories, while cognitive-behavioral techniques are useful for panic attacks, social anxiety, and persistent low mood.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist and client review how strategies are working and adjust methods to fit the client’s needs, goals, and preferences. That collaborative process helps pick which techniques to emphasize and when to move at a different pace.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available options before booking. Many people find remote appointments useful for fitting sessions into a busy week, shortening travel time, and making regular check-ins easier to keep. If you need shorter check-ins or sessions that avoid video for lower bandwidth, discuss those preferences when you schedule to learn what this therapist currently offers.
