About Tommie

Prof. Tommie Colin is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 16 years of clinical experience. She works with adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship strain, parenting pressures, and the effects of trauma and abuse. Sessions are offered in English and Spanish and are intended to help people manage difficult feelings and day-to-day challenges at home.

Colin focuses on concrete concerns like sleep disruption, anger, coping with life changes, addiction, and intimacy-related issues. She also addresses issues connected to attachment, abandonment, adoption and foster care, blended family dynamics, and caregiver stress. Her background includes supporting people facing ADHD, bipolar concerns, body image struggles, chronic illness, and co-morbid mental health issues.

Her approach draws from several therapy methods, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Attachment-Based Therapy, and Client-Centered Therapy. Sessions typically involve talking through patterns, practicing skills to manage emotions, and setting clear, achievable goals for daily life.

Colin aims to listen without judgment and to work with each person to set practical steps forward. She blends problem-solving with emotional support and helps people try new ways of handling stress and relationship pain. Clients can expect straightforward conversation and collaborative planning.

To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. Fees vary by location and are billed through a subscription that can be canceled at any time.

How sessions work

Therapeutic approaches and online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It focuses on clarifying values and taking small actions toward a meaningful life, which can help with anxiety, stress, and life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It uses practical exercises and skill-building to reduce symptoms of depression, anxiety, sleep problems, and anger. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns in close relationships. It can help people understand how past relationships shape current reactions and improve relationship-related stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That might mean combining ACT skills with CBT exercises or using attachment ideas to guide conversations about relationships.

Confirm the current session formats before booking, as they are not specified here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy home life, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. Many people find that remote sessions let them practice skills in real-life settings and continue therapy around work or parenting demands. Licensed professionals can explain available session types when you complete the matching questionnaire and schedule a first appointment.
