About Maureen
Maureen Colligan helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, grief, or low self-esteem. She is a Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, and holds an LPCC credential. Maureen writes short, practical plans with each person and focuses on clear, doable steps in sessions.
Maureen draws on 30 years of experience to guide conversations about trauma, loss, depression, and healing after abuse. She also works with concerns tied to aging, caregiving, money stress, and feelings of isolation.
How Maureen works
Sessions focus on what matters most to the individual and on building tools that help between appointments. Her approach centers on listening with respect and sensitivity. She adapts talks and plans to each person’s needs, using methods that include client-centered care and cognitive behavioral tools.
This means exploring thought patterns, trying small behavior changes, and checking what works. Maureen also uses solution-focused and trauma-focused techniques when those fit a person’s goals. That can look like setting short-term goals, practicing coping strategies, and carefully addressing past hurt in ways paced for the individual.
The focus stays practical and goal-oriented. People who choose Maureen can expect a steady, compassionate presence and clear next steps after each meeting. She encourages courage and small changes that add up over time.
To begin, a short matching questionnaire is used to pair a person with the right schedule and format.

How Maureen’s Approaches Work Online
Maureen uses client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy to guide work done over video, phone, chat, or text. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening, understanding what matters to a person, and shaping sessions around their priorities. It helps when someone needs acceptance and a steady, nonjudgmental space to talk. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and behaviors affect feelings and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress-related concerns.Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the person about goals, needs, and preferences, then suggest methods to try. Plans are adjusted as work progresses so the approach matches what actually helps the individual.
Online formats make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Video calls let people work face-to-face from wherever they are. Phone sessions require less bandwidth and can be a simpler option for a quick check-in. Live chat and text-based messaging allow for brief updates, written reflections, or shorter touchpoints between longer sessions. These options give flexibility while keeping the focus on practical steps and steady progress.
