Colleen has been a great counselor. She listens well, pulls on threads that lead To “the main issue” and is extremely supportive. She gives “homework” suggestions or tips to try or things to read if that’s what you like. But doesn’t push those if those methods don’t work for you. I highly recommend her counseling services!

Colleen is a wonderful therapist. We have been talking for over a year and she has helped me immensely. I don’t know how I could’ve made it this far without her. She really has been a godsend.

My name is Colleen Phillips. I am a Clinical Social Worker licensed in the states of Louisiana and Mississippi. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, role/life transitions, grief and caregiver strain. I also have experience helping many people who have experienced abuse and neglect in their home setting.
My counseling style is warm and interactive. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, with each encounter. My approach combines multiple counselling techniques to help individuals move towards the well-being they desire. I will work with you to develop a treatment plan that meets your unique needs and goals.
It takes courage to take the first steps towards a change. You've taken the first step by looking for some support. I hope to work with you to help you reach your desired level of well-being.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

Colleen is incredible. She has helped me tremendously in a short amount of time. She balances authenticity and professionalism very well, and she brings good ideas and insights into our sessions. Highly recommend!
So far this has been a HUGE help to me. Honestly very refreshing
Colleen is personable and friendly, but she is GREAT at challenging my thoughts in a constructive way. I appreciate her insight and her genuine interest in helping me untangle any issues, find solutions, and grow from my experiences.
As helpful as always!
I have only been having sessions with Colleen for a couple of weeks and I'm already showing improvements in my anxiety. She is attentive and extremely professional. She replies to my messages promptly.
She is empathetic yet informative. She is goal oriented with me but I suspect that she sees my need for it and follows suit. I really feel like she listens to me and hears me first off, then tries to provide solutions but I can’t emphasize enough how I really feel heard by her. It’s so comforting. I have a range of things going on and she is privy to everything. I would recommend her to anyone with a wide variety of issues or just a few things you want to work on.
Mrs. Colleen is an outstanding counselor. She’s a good listener and gives many options to aid in helping clients recovery. I’ve gained my independence back with her guidance. I’m so happy to have been assigned such an awesome person to help me thru this tough time in my life.
I really like working with Colleen. She’s genuine & understanding. I’ve only been doing therapy for about 3 weeks & shes already been super helpful! I really appreciate her time & help.
Colleen is very professional, compassionate, and very easy to talk to. She made me feel warm and welcomed from the start, even with the virtual sessions. I instantly felt comfortable with her. She knows exactly what I am feeling and makes me feel more positive and optimistic each time we talk. I am so glad I was matched with Colleen and very thankful for her.
