About Colleen

Colleen Tavor is an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor in Michigan with 17 years of clinical experience. She supports people managing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, trauma and abuse, grief, and anger. Colleen works directly with adults who want clearer ways to cope and respond when emotions run high.

Her sessions emphasize straightforward conversation and practical skills. She helps clients name what they are experiencing and practice strategies during sessions. That can include noticing patterns, testing new responses, and breaking down overwhelming moments into manageable steps.

Colleen's background includes extended work with trauma-related concerns and first responder issues. She has also assisted people dealing with panic attacks, social anxiety, workplace stress, domestic violence aftermath, and women's issues. This experience informs how she approaches strong emotional reactions like anger and prolonged grief.

Her methods draw on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, and Trauma-Focused Therapy. In practice she uses these approaches to help people understand thoughts and feelings, process difficult memories, and develop coping skills that fit day-to-day life.

Colleen asks for a practical first step: complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial session. Many clients find that a clear plan and small, consistent steps make intense emotions easier to handle over time.

How sessions work

How her approaches translate to online sessions

Colleen uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and test different behaviors. CBT sessions often include exercises and goal-setting that can be done between meetings to reduce anger and anxiety. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, or EMDR, is used to process distressing memories and reduce their emotional charge; it is often applied when trauma or intense past events feed current reactions.

Choosing the right approach is something she does with each person. She will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels manageable, then adapt techniques across sessions. The work is collaborative and paced to the client’s needs rather than a one-size-fits-all plan.

Session formats are not detailed in the original biography, so confirm current online options before booking. That said, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving, or travel. They can shorten time spent commuting, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and let people use tools and worksheets between meetings to practice skills in everyday settings.
