Colleen Lennon , LCMHC

Colleen Lennon, LCMHC, helps people facing stress, anxiety, grief, trauma, and depression. She speaks plainly and focuses on what matters most to each person in session. Colleen aims to create a calm space where people can begin to find themselves again and take practical next steps.

Colleen uses a person-centered stance that centers the client's own experience. She also draws on existential ideas about self-awareness and meaning to help people reconnect with their core values. In sessions she listens first, then partners with clients to set clear, achievable goals.

Work often starts by identifying immediate needs like managing anxiety symptoms or coping with loss. Colleen helps people notice unhelpful patterns and try small, real-world changes. She offers straightforward strategies and regular check-ins to track progress.

People who are dealing with long-term pain, chronic illness, or feelings of isolation can bring those concerns into the work. Colleen also addresses issues such as guilt, shame, forgiveness, life purpose, and self-love. The focus is on practical tools that fit into daily life, not on jargon or complex techniques.

Colleen is licensed as an LCMHC in North Carolina and has six years of clinical experience. Sessions are offered in English and are available through different online formats to match each person’s needs.

Approaches that guide online sessions

Colleen works from a person-centered framework that prioritizes the client's own experience and choices. This approach involves active listening, reflecting what is said, and helping people build on their strengths to make concrete changes. It suits concerns like anxiety, depression, and adjusting to life changes.

She also applies existential ideas that focus on self-awareness and meaning. Those ideas help when someone feels lost, disconnected, or uncertain about life purpose. Conversations explore values, choices, and small steps toward living in line with what matters most.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Colleen will talk with each person about their goals, test what feels useful, and adapt methods as needed. Together they track progress and adjust the plan based on what helps most.

Online therapy with Colleen is offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video sessions support face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can fit into breaks or be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging allow brief check-ins, reflections between sessions, and flexible communication for busy days. These options make it easier to schedule care and keep continuity during life’s changes.
