About Colleen
Colleen Clark is a Licensed Certified Social Worker in Maryland (LCSW-C) with ten years of clinical experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, parenting struggles, self-esteem, depression, and life changes. Colleen speaks English and works with adults seeking clearer ways to handle pressure at home and in day-to-day life.
She uses practical, evidence-informed approaches to help people manage symptoms and make choices that match their values. Sessions often include learning skills to reduce worry, noticing how thoughts affect behavior, and practicing small changes that feel manageable. Colleen draws on methods such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Attachment-based ideas when these fit a person’s needs.
Colleen pays attention to family-related concerns without running family sessions. She helps individuals address blended family issues, family-of-origin patterns, communication problems, caregiver stress, and fertility or separation stresses. She also works with people facing substance use, body image, or eating-related worries alongside mood or anxiety concerns.
Her style is client-centered and practical. Conversations focus on what is getting in the way now and what can be tried between sessions. She supports people as they test new ways of responding to difficult emotions and relationships.
To begin, visitors complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a session. The practice uses a cancelable subscription for session billing that varies with location.
How sessions work
Using ACT, CBT, and attachment ideas in online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting ruled by them, then choose actions that align with what matters most. It can be useful for parenting stress, anxiety, and low mood. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, behaviors, and feelings connect and teaches practical skills to reduce worry and change unhelpful patterns. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and everyday stress. Attachment-Based Therapy centers on how early relationship patterns shape current reactions and helps people understand and shift relational responses that show up under pressure.Finding the right combination of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods to try first, based on current concerns, goals, and what feels most helpful. That decision can change as progress unfolds.
The profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, for example by removing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins when needed, or letting someone join from a quieter place. Licensed professionals can help tailor session length and focus so therapy fits around parenting and work demands rather than the other way around.
