About Tommie
Prof. Tommie Colin is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Texas. She has 16 years of experience supporting people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship strain, and life transitions. She speaks English and Spanish and aims to listen with empathy and respect.
Her approach is practical and person-centered. Sessions focus on what matters to the individual and on small, doable steps toward steadier daily functioning. She uses plain language, listens without judgment, and helps build coping skills for issues such as sleep difficulties, anger, codependency, and addictions.
Prof. Colin draws on several therapy methods to match each person's needs. She may use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. She also incorporates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify values and take meaningful action. Attachment-Based and Dialectical Behavior Therapy ideas can appear when relationship patterns or intense emotions are central concerns.
Her work often addresses complicated losses, parenting stress, caregiver burden, and challenges tied to adoption, aging, or chronic illness. She aims to help people improve communication, set clearer boundaries, and recover a sense of agency after trauma or abandonment experiences.
Initial steps involve a short questionnaire and scheduling a session through the site's Start Therapy flow. Prof. Colin emphasizes collaboration and patience while creating a plan tailored to each person's goals and daily life.
How different approaches guide online work
Prof. Colin uses approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy in ways that translate well to remote sessions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and trying different ways of responding; it can help with anxiety, depression, sleep, and codependency patterns. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people clarify what matters to them and take small actions based on those values, which can be useful for life transitions, grief, and motivation struggles.Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and how they react to different methods. Together they choose what to try first and adjust as needed, keeping the work practical and tailored to daily life.
