About Colby

He takes a straightforward, respectful approach and aims to make the first steps toward change feel manageable for people who are worried or overwhelmed.
He brings 17 years of clinical experience from both inpatient and outpatient settings. That background means he has worked with a wide range of concerns including anger, addictions, grief, trauma and abuse, and parenting strain.

He also supports people dealing with career stress, intimacy issues, and self-esteem problems. Colby’s style is welcoming and adaptive. He treats people with respect and compassion and avoids judgment.
He describes his role as a guide, coach, teacher, and cheerleader who also offers practical tools for everyday problems. In sessions he blends client-centered work with techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy, along with emotionally-focused and existential ideas when helpful. This lets him tailor strategies to a person’s goals and daily realities.

People who choose to work with him can expect direct feedback when it serves their growth, paired with concrete coping skills and practice. He emphasizes collaborative planning so goals match the person’s needs and life circumstances.
How therapeutic approaches fit into online care
Colby uses client-centered therapy to focus on each person's values and choices, helping them feel heard and understood while they set goals. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is used to identify unhelpful thoughts and build practical skills for managing mood, anxiety, ADHD-related challenges, and daily routines. Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) provides concrete tools for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improving communication when emotions run high.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Colby works with people to identify which methods match their goals and strengths. He adapts plans over time, checking in to make sure techniques feel useful and realistic for everyday life.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video lets you work face-to-face for skill practice and detailed conversation. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is low or when you prefer not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging are useful for shorter check-ins, skill reminders, or ongoing coaching between longer sessions. These options make therapy easier to fit around work, family duties, or busy schedules and let people keep momentum between appointments.
