About Colleen
LCMHC and LPC with 21 years of experience, Colleen Neuer works with adults in Virginia on stress, anxiety, relationships, parenting concerns, anger, career questions, LGBT issues, depression, and coping with life changes. She combines practical talk with focused techniques to help people handle day-to-day challenges and decisions. Colleen uses client-centered approaches alongside Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and solution-focused methods.
Colleen spent many years as a school counselor before moving into clinical practice. That background shapes how she listens for practical problems and steps that can be taken right away. She pays attention to patterns that get in the way of what a person wants to change, then points to simple, testable strategies.
Sessions tend to blend open conversation with goal-focused work. Colleen uses CBT tools to identify unhelpful thoughts and to try new behaviors. She uses solution-focused techniques to set small, achievable goals and to track progress between meetings.
Her client-centered stance means sessions begin from the person’s concerns and priorities, not a preset agenda. Colleen also offers life coaching elements when clients want skills for decision-making or career moves. This can include planning steps and accountability.
People who contact her should expect clear, direct guidance along with space to talk through feelings and choices. The subscription-based sessions can be canceled at any time. To begin, use the See online therapy options button, complete the short matching questionnaire, and schedule a first session.

How her approaches shape online sessions
Colleen uses client-centered therapy to begin by listening to what matters most to the person and to set the pace of sessions. That approach helps when someone needs to talk through feelings, clarify priorities, or decide on next steps.She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and testing small behavior changes. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress management because it gives concrete techniques to try between meetings.
Solution-focused therapy is part of her mix as well. It concentrates on short-term goals and practical steps, which can be useful when a person wants measurable progress on specific problems like parenting challenges or career decisions.
Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. Colleen will work with each person to decide which methods fit their needs and goals. She adjusts strategies as progress and preferences become clearer.
Confirm current session formats before booking to know what is offered. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around busy schedules, shorten check-ins when needed, and use phone over video when bandwidth is limited or a brief call suits the moment. These practical options can help people keep therapy consistent with everyday life.
