About Colleen

Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in New York with six years of experience, Colleen Washington helps people manage stress, anxiety, relationship strain, low self-esteem, and depression. She also addresses life transitions and concerns like body image, workplace issues, and panic attacks. Colleen practices in English and works from New York. International clients are not accepted.

Colleen uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy alongside a person-centered stance. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with practical behavior changes. A person-centered approach means sessions begin with the client's concerns and priorities, and the therapist follows the client's lead during conversation.

In session, Colleen aims to make things straightforward. She listens to what feels most urgent and helps develop small, manageable steps. That might include short behavioral experiments, communication practice, or problem-solving for immediate stressors.

Colleen has experience supporting people dealing with relationship communication problems, divorce and separation, guilt and shame, social anxiety, and issues related to pregnancy and childbirth. She also works with concerns about forgiveness, isolation, life purpose, sexuality, and self-love.

Her therapy style emphasizes clear, evidence-based techniques combined with open listening. Sessions move at a practical pace and focus on tools clients can use between meetings. To start, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session through the service's booking flow.

Costs vary by location and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time. For current session formats and booking details, prospective clients should confirm options before scheduling.

How Colleen uses evidence-based techniques online

Colleen works with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and a person-centered approach. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps identify unhelpful thoughts and tests them through small behavior changes. It is often used for anxiety, depression, panic attacks, and work-related stress. A person-centered approach means the therapist listens closely to the client's concerns and structures sessions around what the client brings each week.

Finding the right method is part of the work. Colleen will discuss different techniques with each client and decide together which ones fit goals and preferences. This collaborative process helps shape session focus and homework between meetings.

The original biography does not list specific remote session formats. Confirm current session options before booking so you know how meetings are held. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises, communication practice, and behavioral experiments to remote sessions so the practical work continues between appointments.
