Prof. Tommie Colin greets people with warmth and clear, practical help. She is a licensed professional counselor in Texas with 16 years of experience.
She speaks English and Spanish and focuses on everyday struggles people bring into therapy. She helps people manage stress and anxiety and works through depression and grief. She supports those dealing with trauma and abuse, relationship strain, intimacy questions, and parenting stress.
She also works with concerns such as addiction, ADHD, and changes in life circumstances.
Background and approach
Sessions are conversational and paced to each person's needs. She listens first, then helps set goals and simple steps clients can try between meetings. Treatment plans are shaped around what a person wants to change and the practical barriers they face.
Her approach draws from several methods including acceptance and commitment techniques, attachment-based ideas, client-centered support, cognitive behavioral tools, and skills from dialectical behavior therapy. She uses those tools to build coping skills, improve communication, and strengthen emotional awareness. People meet her for focused help with self-esteem, sleep problems, anger, or chronic illness coping.
She also assists with adoption and foster care challenges, caregiver burnout, and body image issues. Sessions are meant to be patient, non-judgmental, and respectful. To begin, a person completes a short matching questionnaire and schedules sessions through the site's process.
Therapy is offered via video, phone, live chat, or text messaging to fit different schedules and needs.
Therapeutic approaches and online options that fit your life
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts without letting them control actions and focuses on moving toward values-driven goals; it can be useful for anxiety, depression, and life changes. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns and helps people build safer, more connected ways of relating; it is often used for relationship strain and intimacy issues. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical skills to shift unhelpful patterns; CBT is helpful for depression, anxiety, sleep issues, and some stress-related problems.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist uses these methods collaboratively and tailors them to a person's needs, goals, and preferences. Together they decide which skills to try first and adjust the plan as progress is made.
Online therapy is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which makes it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Video lets people read facial cues and practice interaction, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat can be useful for quick check-ins, and text messaging supports ongoing coaching and brief reflections between sessions. These options provide flexibility while keeping the focus on practical steps and skill building.
