Colleen Washington

Colleen Washington is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in New York with six years of clinical experience. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, self-esteem, depression, and coping with life changes. She also addresses body image, workplace issues, and questions around life purpose.

Colleen uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy alongside a person-centered way of working. Sessions focus on spotting unhelpful thinking and trying small, practical changes in day-to-day life. Conversations are straightforward and aimed at making problems easier to manage rather than offering quick fixes.

She pays attention to specific concerns such as panic attacks, social anxiety, and issues around pregnancy and childbirth. Colleen also supports people dealing with divorce or separation, communication problems, and feelings of guilt or shame. She includes discussion of sexuality, self-love, and women's issues when relevant.

In a session clients can expect time to tell their story and to set practical goals together. Colleen invites clients to test new strategies between meetings and to talk through what helps or doesn’t. Progress is built from repeated, small steps rather than sudden change.

Sessions use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. Prospective clients choose the See online therapy options button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule a first session to begin.

Therapeutic techniques and online sessions

Colleen draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice patterns of thinking that keep stress and anxiety active. CBT work often means tracking thoughts and testing small behavior changes to reduce panic, social anxiety, or persistent low mood.

She also uses a person-centered approach which prioritizes the client’s experience. That approach means listening closely, checking what matters most to the client, and shaping goals together rather than following a set plan.

Finding the right blend of approaches is part of the work. Colleen will review goals, try methods, and adjust based on what feels most useful. She collaborates with clients to decide which exercises and conversational focus best fit their day-to-day life and aims.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy schedule, shorten travel time, and allow check-ins during a lunch break or between errands. They can also let someone choose a simpler, audio-only meeting if that suits them better.
