About Maureen
Maureen Colligan is a licensed counselor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, grief, trauma, and low self-esteem. She brings 30 years of experience and a steady, respectful presence to conversations about change. Her approach is practical and grounded, aimed at helping clients find clearer thinking and small steps that feel doable.
Maureen tailors sessions to each person’s needs. She listens first, then offers tools drawn from client-centered work, cognitive behavioral ideas, and solution-focused strategies. That can mean learning ways to manage anxious thoughts, practicing new communication skills, or mapping short-term goals to regain direction.
Her background includes long-term work with people who have faced abuse, loss, and post-traumatic stress. She also supports those dealing with aging concerns, caregiver stress, money worries, and the emotional fallouts of divorce. Codependency and feelings of emptiness are among the issues she addresses in therapy.
Sessions blend practical skills with compassionate listening. Maureen encourages small experiments between meetings, so progress can be noticed and adjusted. She aims to help people build better routines, clearer boundaries, and more satisfying daily life.
Maureen is licensed as an LPC and as an LPCC and practices in New Mexico. She provides care in English and accepts international clients. To begin, she asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions according to availability.
How Maureen’s Approaches Work Online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person as a whole. In practice this means the therapist follows your lead, reflects what she hears, and helps you clarify what matters most. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches specific skills to shift unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors. These approaches can help with anxiety, low mood, and problems like codependency when paired with clear, practical goals.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Maureen will help you decide which methods fit your needs and preferences, and she adapts plans as you try different strategies. That collaborative process makes it easier to focus on short-term wins while also addressing deeper issues over time.
