About Colleen
Colleen Tavor is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Michigan with 17 years of experience helping people with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, anger, and relationship concerns. She aims to make the first step toward therapy feel approachable and straightforward. Colleen invites honest conversation and supports clients who are ready to address workplace strain, panic symptoms, social anxiety, and women's issues.
Colleen focuses on building an open, nonjudgmental space where clients can speak freely about what matters to them. She listens for practical patterns that keep problems going and works with each person to set clear, doable goals. Sessions are collaborative and paced to match each client's needs.
Her clinical approach includes methods such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Trauma-Focused Therapy, and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing. She uses these tools to help people manage upsetting memories, reduce panic and phobic reactions, and change unhelpful thinking that feeds anxiety and anger.
Colleen has worked with people affected by domestic violence, first responder challenges, post-traumatic stress, and workplace issues. She also supports those coping with loss and grief after significant life changes. Her background across these areas informs practical strategies for everyday life.
If someone is ready to begin, they are invited to complete the Start Therapy button flow. The intake steps include a short matching questionnaire and scheduling according to the therapist's availability. This helps match clients to a therapist and set up the first session.
How trauma-focused and cognitive approaches work online
Colleen uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change thinking patterns that fuel anxiety, panic, and workplace stress. CBT often involves setting small goals, practicing new skills between sessions, and tracking progress over time.She also uses Trauma-Focused Therapy and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing to address distressing memories and reactions after trauma. Trauma-Focused work looks at how past events affect daily life and builds coping strategies, while EMDR targets upsetting memories to reduce their emotional charge and the reactions they trigger.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and practical needs and then suggest which methods to try. That decision is collaborative and can change as progress is made.
Confirm current session options before booking, as formats are not listed here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life by reducing commute time, enabling shorter check-ins during work breaks, or avoiding camera use when someone prefers it. Licensed professionals can adapt techniques like CBT and trauma-focused steps to remote sessions, and the therapist will explain what to expect when scheduling.
