About Tommie

Prof. Tommie Colin welcomes people who are juggling family life, parenting demands, or relationship stresses and need practical support. She is a Licensed Professional Counselor - LPC with 16 years of experience based in Texas.

She speaks English and Spanish and works with a broad range of concerns including stress, anxiety, grief, and addictions. Her approach is warm and straightforward and she aims to make conversations feel grounded and useful from the first visit.

Background and approach

In sessions she focuses on what matters most to each person. She listens without judgment and helps clients set small, clear goals. Conversations can center on improving communication, managing intense emotions, coping with loss, or building self-esteem.

She uses tools that clients can try between sessions to test what helps. Her training includes cognitive and emotion-focused methods, acceptance-based skills, and client-centered principles. That mix lets her tailor a plan to your situation instead of using a one-size-fits-all model.

She brings patience and respect to the work and looks for realistic steps you can carry into daily life. Clients can expect plain language and concrete strategies rather than technical jargon. Sessions are collaborative so therapy adjusts as needs change.

She also offers options in Spanish when that is preferred. To begin, a short matching questionnaire and scheduling step sets the first appointment. Sessions are offered through subscription-based plans that can be canceled at any time.

How specific approaches translate to online family and parenting work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, teaches practical ways to notice hard thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It encourages choosing actions that match your values, which can help when parenting stress or life changes feel overwhelming.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on simple steps to shift unhelpful thinking and build different habits. It is useful for anxiety, sleep problems, and low mood because it breaks problems into manageable tasks clients can practice between sessions.

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns in close relationships and helps people develop safer, more supportive ways of relating. This can be helpful for family tensions, blended family issues, and intimacy-related concerns.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist works collaboratively to match methods to the client’s goals, needs, and preferences, and will adjust the plan as things change. Clients are encouraged to try techniques and give feedback so the work stays practical and relevant.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy family schedules and to keep momentum when life gets hectic. They also allow people to use tools and homework suggestions in the same environment where they live and parent.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

Less about arguing with difficult thoughts, more about loosening their grip and acting on what matters to you anyway. Values and committed action carry the work, which suits conversation at a distance.

Attachment-Based Therapy

Looks at how early bonds shaped what you expect from closeness, and how that plays out now with a partner, a parent, or your own children.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.
