Colleen has been a great counselor. She listens well, pulls on threads that lead To “the main issue” and is extremely supportive. She gives “homework” suggestions or tips to try or things to read if that’s what you like. But doesn’t push those if those methods don’t work for you. I highly recommend her counseling services!

My name is Colleen Phillips. I am a Clinical Social Worker licensed in the states of Louisiana and Mississippi. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, role/life transitions, grief and caregiver strain. I also have experience helping many people who have experienced abuse and neglect in their home setting.
My counseling style is warm and interactive. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, with each encounter. My approach combines multiple counselling techniques to help individuals move towards the well-being they desire. I will work with you to develop a treatment plan that meets your unique needs and goals.
It takes courage to take the first steps towards a change. You've taken the first step by looking for some support. I hope to work with you to help you reach your desired level of well-being.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.
Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.

So far this has been a HUGE help to me. Honestly very refreshing
Colleen is personable and friendly, but she is GREAT at challenging my thoughts in a constructive way. I appreciate her insight and her genuine interest in helping me untangle any issues, find solutions, and grow from my experiences.
As helpful as always!
I have only been having sessions with Colleen for a couple of weeks and I'm already showing improvements in my anxiety. She is attentive and extremely professional. She replies to my messages promptly.
She is empathetic yet informative. She is goal oriented with me but I suspect that she sees my need for it and follows suit. I really feel like she listens to me and hears me first off, then tries to provide solutions but I can’t emphasize enough how I really feel heard by her. It’s so comforting. I have a range of things going on and she is privy to everything. I would recommend her to anyone with a wide variety of issues or just a few things you want to work on.
Mrs. Colleen is an outstanding counselor. She’s a good listener and gives many options to aid in helping clients recovery. I’ve gained my independence back with her guidance. I’m so happy to have been assigned such an awesome person to help me thru this tough time in my life.
I really like working with Colleen. She’s genuine & understanding. I’ve only been doing therapy for about 3 weeks & shes already been super helpful! I really appreciate her time & help.
Colleen is very professional, compassionate, and very easy to talk to. She made me feel warm and welcomed from the start, even with the virtual sessions. I instantly felt comfortable with her. She knows exactly what I am feeling and makes me feel more positive and optimistic each time we talk. I am so glad I was matched with Colleen and very thankful for her.
