About Tommie
Prof. Tommie Colin is a Texas Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 16 years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship strain, addiction concerns, and life changes. Sessions are offered in English and Spanish. She aims to make each person feel heard and respected from the first visit.
Her approach blends practical strategies with a warm, listening style. She uses methods from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Attachment-Based Therapy, and Client-Centered Therapy. That means sessions may include skills training, values-focused work, and attention to how relationships shape feelings and behavior.
In a typical meeting she listens first, helps clarify goals, and then works with the client to build a straightforward plan. People may work on managing intense emotions, improving communication, building self-esteem, handling parenting or family stress, and coping with loss. She also supports people dealing with attention differences, chronic health challenges, and identity-related concerns such as LGBT issues.
Tommie emphasizes patience, empathy, and nonjudgmental dialogue. Treatment is tailored to each person's needs, pace, and goals rather than a one-size-fits-all program. She frames progress as small, steady steps toward greater day-to-day functioning and wellbeing.

How therapy approaches shape online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying what matters to the person and taking small actions toward those values while learning to live with uncomfortable thoughts and feelings. ACT can help with anxiety, depression, and adjusting to big life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns; it is often used for anxiety, mood, and stress. Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to relationship patterns and how they affect emotions and behavior, which can be useful for intimacy, communication, and grief-related concerns.Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. The therapist works collaboratively to identify which methods match a person's needs, goals, and preferences. That choice can shift over time as progress and needs change, and sessions are shaped together rather than imposed from the start.
Confirm the available session formats before booking so you know how meetings will take place. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, shorten travel time, and allow for different kinds of check-ins such as brief phone or video meetings when offered. It also lets people practice new skills between sessions in their everyday settings and return to therapy from wherever they are in Texas.
