Background and approach
Conversations tend to be goal-oriented and geared toward skills people can use between sessions. Dr. Colt blends several approaches to fit each person’s needs.
He draws on client-centered practices to build a respectful working relationship. He also uses cognitive behavioral ideas to identify unhelpful thinking and mindfulness techniques to calm stress responses. He has a background in counseling psychology and many years working in community settings.
That experience shaped a focus on practical strategies for mood disorders, substance use challenges, and long-term mental health concerns. Sessions are intended to be a place to talk things through and try doable steps forward. People who choose Dr.
Colt often want direct help solving pressing problems. He offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to make sessions fit into busy lives. Initial steps involve a short questionnaire and scheduling a first meeting to see if the fit feels right.
Approaches that translate well to online therapy
Client-centered work focuses on respect, active listening, and building a reliable working relationship. In an online session this means the therapist listens closely and helps clients set clear goals for what they want to change or understand.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, is about spotting unhelpful thoughts and trying small behavior changes. Online CBT often uses homework between sessions and brief skill practice during video or messaging check-ins to reduce anxiety, depression, and problem behaviors.
Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce stress and improve sleep and focus. These techniques can be guided in a video call or reinforced through short audio or text reminders between sessions.
Finding the right approach is part of the process and will be a collaborative decision. The therapist works with each person to match methods to their goals, comfort with different formats, and day-to-day schedule. Adjustments are made as progress and preferences become clear.
Online sessions offer practical benefits like easier scheduling, fewer travel demands, and more ways to check in. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text-based messaging supports quick check-ins or brief skill coaching. These options help therapy fit into work, school, or family routines.
