About Colleen
Colleen Tavor is an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) in Michigan with 17 years of experience. She helps people manage stress and anxiety, address relationship concerns, and work through trauma, abuse, grief, and anger. Sessions are offered in English and focus on practical steps people can use between meetings.
Colleen uses approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, and Trauma-Focused Therapy. In sessions she listens to what feels most urgent and then works with clients to try strategies that reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning. Conversations are direct and focused on small, usable changes rather than abstract theory.
Her work includes attention to domestic violence, issues that affect first responders, panic and panic disorder, post-traumatic stress, social anxiety and phobia, women’s issues, and workplace concerns. She helps clients recognize patterns in thinking and behavior and practices alternatives in session that can be applied in everyday life.
Colleen asks clients to explain current struggles and goals in a first meeting so a plan can be shaped together. She uses plain language and concrete tools from the named approaches to target specific problems like panic attacks, grief reactions, or trauma symptoms. Practical homework and short-term exercises are common.
To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. Fees vary with location and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time. International clients are not currently accepted.

How CBT, EMDR, and trauma work in remote sessions
The therapist uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and test small behavior changes. CBT sessions often involve specific exercises and short homework tasks to practice outside the meeting.Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing is used for processing traumatic memories. EMDR sessions guide clients through structured memory work alongside bilateral stimulation to reduce the intensity of distressing memories.
Trauma-Focused Therapy concentrates on addressing the impact of traumatic events and building coping skills. It includes pacing work so clients can attend to difficult memories while learning practical ways to manage symptoms.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will review a client’s needs, goals, and preferences and then recommend whether CBT, EMDR, Trauma-Focused Therapy, or a combination is most appropriate. This is decided together in early sessions and revisited as needed.
Confirm the current session formats before booking. The practical benefit of remote sessions is that they can fit more easily into daily life, for example by reducing travel time or allowing shorter check-ins during a busy day. Ask about session length, scheduling options, and any preparations recommended for specific approaches before your first appointment.
