Colleen Lennon, LCMHC

Colleen Lennon is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) practicing in North Carolina with six years of professional experience. She works with people navigating stress and anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief and loss, depression, and the challenges that come with life changes. Her practice also attends to related concerns such as chronic pain or illness, feelings of guilt and shame, isolation and loneliness, questions of life purpose, and issues often faced by women.

Colleen uses a person-centered framework that honors each individual as the expert of their own story while incorporating elements of existential theory, with a particular emphasis on cultivating self-awareness. Her work focuses on helping clients reconnect with their core sense of self amid a noisy world, then build on the strengths already present. She encourages clients to recognize their resilience and to take courageous steps toward healing and growth. The first steps into therapy are acknowledged as meaningful, and Colleen aims to provide steady, compassionate support as clients explore their goals and values on the path forward.

Person-Centered and Existential Approaches in Online Therapy

Colleen blends a person-centered approach with existential-informed techniques to support clients in finding clarity and meaning. Person-centered therapy focuses on listening without judgment and building a collaborative therapeutic relationship, which helps people working through anxiety, depression, grief, and life transitions feel heard and respected. Existential-informed work emphasizes self-awareness and exploring personal values, which can be useful for those questioning purpose, coping with major life changes, or seeking deeper understanding after trauma.

She pairs these perspectives with evidence-based therapeutic techniques tailored to each person - selecting methods that fit the client rather than applying a one-size-fits-all model. Determining the best approach is a collaborative process: the therapist and client will discuss goals, preferences, and responses to different strategies to find what helps most.

Online therapy with licensed professionals offers flexibility and accessibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit care into busy schedules, continue work during life changes, and connect from varied locations while maintaining a consistent therapeutic relationship.
