About Colette
Colette Kuznia is a licensed professional clinical counselor (LPCC) in Minnesota with 35 years of experience. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, and other life challenges. Her tone is straightforward and encouraging for someone taking a first step toward support.
She emphasizes practical, skills-based work that draws from cognitive behavioral approaches. Sessions are collaborative and goal-oriented, with treatment plans shaped to fit each persons needs and circumstances.
Background and approach
Colette aims to create an open and empathic setting where clients can speak about thoughts and feelings without fear of judgment. In meetings she helps people learn tools to change unhelpful thinking and build coping strategies for everyday problems. She also addresses relationship concerns, intimacy-related issues, parenting questions, grief, and work or career stress.
The practice includes attention to issues such as ADHD, bipolar symptoms, anger, self-esteem, and compassion fatigue. Colette notes that starting therapy takes courage and she acknowledges that step. She works with clients to set realistic goals and to measure progress over time.
The overall approach is practical, rooted in evidence-based techniques, and aimed at giving people usable skills for daily life.
Evidence-based care delivered online and tailored to your needs
Colette uses cognitive behavioral techniques to help people notice and shift unhelpful thoughts and develop practical coping skills. This approach is useful for anxiety, depression, stress, and many day-to-day difficulties because it focuses on small, testable changes that build over time.She also draws on other evidence-based therapeutic techniques aimed at processing difficult experiences and building emotional regulation skills. These methods help when trauma, grief, or intense emotions make routine functioning harder by offering structured ways to practice new responses.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to identify goals and try methods that fit their needs and preferences. Adjustments are made along the way so treatment stays relevant and practical.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to keep regular meetings, manage follow-up between sessions, and access care from home or work when that works best for the client.
