About Tommie
Prof. Tommie Colin is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) in Texas with 16 years of experience. She offers straightforward support for people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression, grief, or major life changes.
Tommie also helps with relationship strain, intimacy concerns, addictions, ADHD, and self-esteem challenges. She uses a conversational, respectful style in sessions. Clients can expect patient listening and practical steps to make daily life feel more manageable.
Goals and plans are shaped around each person's needs rather than a one-size-fits-all approach.
Background and approach
Her work draws on several evidence-based methods. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to identify unhelpful thinking and build new habits. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify values and take small, values-based steps.
Attachment-based ideas guide conversations about relationship patterns and emotional connection. Tommie offers care in English and Spanish. Over her career she has supported people coping with trauma and abuse, caregiving stress, chronic health challenges, and complex mood issues.
She aims to combine empathy with clear strategies so clients can move toward better day-to-day functioning. Starting with a short assessment, she collaborates with each person to set realistic goals. Sessions are tailored to fit individual circumstances, pacing, and goals so progress feels achievable and relevant.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck, then choose small actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, and adjusting to life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thinking and practicing new skills to change behavior and mood, which often fits issues like anxiety, sleep problems, and low mood. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns shape current connections and can help with intimacy and communication struggles.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to pick methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences. That decision can shift over time as sessions reveal what is most helpful, so clients are invited to give feedback and shape the plan together.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and needs. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation and deeper interaction. Phone sessions can fit a busy day or lower bandwidth situations. Live chat or text-based messaging works well for shorter check-ins, tracking progress, or when writing feels easier than talking. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to combine with work, caregiving, or other commitments.
