About Colette
Colette Junod is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, and major life changes. She also provides coaching for executives and professionals and addresses compassion fatigue. Her style is respectful and compassionate, focused on the person rather than a one-size-fits-all plan.
Colette adapts conversations and plans to each person’s needs. She draws on 15 years of clinical experience to offer practical steps and real-world strategies.
Background and approach
Sessions are straightforward and goal-oriented when that fits, and more reflective when people need space to process difficult events. She pays attention to how caregiving, communication breakdowns, and loneliness affect daily life. Colette helps people identify manageable changes and build routines that reduce overwhelm.
She works with people to clarify life purpose and handle post-traumatic stress reactions in ways that fit their lives. Colette brings plain language and steady support to each meeting. She respects different backgrounds and listens for what matters most to the person in front of her.
Conversations aim to leave people with clear next steps they can try between sessions. People who reach out can expect a collaborative tone and a focus on practical tools. Colette will tailor the pace and methods to the person’s goals and preferences, helping them move toward clearer thinking and greater day-to-day coping.
Therapeutic approaches and online care
Colette uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide sessions in clear, practical ways. One common approach is trauma-focused work that helps people process difficult events at a pace that feels manageable, teaching skills to reduce intense reactions. Another common focus is skills-based coaching for stress and anxiety, which emphasizes breathing, grounding, problem-solving, and small behavioral changes that reduce daily overwhelm.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the person about their goals, needs, and preferences and then try methods that match those aims. Plans are adjusted over time based on what helps most, and the person is encouraged to weigh in about pace and focus.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is helpful for richer conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be a good fit when bandwidth is limited or a quick check-in is needed. Live chat and texting work well for short updates, coaching-style prompts, or when someone prefers writing. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work breaks, caregiving schedules, or travel plans.
