About Colette

Colette Spaulding is a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) with 15 years of experience supporting people through stress, anxiety, trauma, relationship challenges, and life transitions. She frames the therapeutic question not as what is wrong with a person but what has happened to them, inviting clients to tell their stories in a compassionate, nonjudgmental space. Colette emphasizes collaboration - combining clients' strengths, life patterns, and coping skills to increase self-awareness, improve relationships, and encourage meaningful growth.

Her practice addresses a wide range of concerns including mood disorders, anxiety, trauma and abuse, addictions, grief, parenting and family issues, intimacy and relationship problems, and challenges such as abandonment, codependency, and control issues. She draws on evidence-based methods including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) to tailor interventions to each person. Colette approaches each client as a whole person rather than a set of diagnoses, working as a team to match strategies with individual needs.

Known for offering compassion, flexibility, and a sense of humor, Colette aims to help clients find satisfaction, fulfillment, and greater peace of mind. As an LMSW - a licensed master social worker - she brings clinical training and practical experience to support recovery, coping, and positive change.

Online Approaches for Trauma, Mood, and Relationships

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy - CBT is a practical, goal-oriented approach that helps people identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress-related concerns and supports learning new coping strategies.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy - DBT focuses on building skills in emotion regulation, distress tolerance, interpersonal effectiveness, and mindfulness. It is useful for intense emotions, relationship conflicts, impulsivity, and patterns that feel hard to change.

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing - EMDR is a structured approach for processing distress associated with traumatic memories. It can help reduce the impact of past events and support recovery from trauma and abuse.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey. Colette works collaboratively with each person to explore which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress unfolds.

Online therapy offers flexibility and access - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to receive support from different locations. Licensed professionals can use these formats to provide ongoing treatment, skill-building, and support that adapt to a client’s life and changing needs.
