About Colette
Colette Junod is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 15 years of practice who helps people dealing with stress and anxiety. She also supports those affected by trauma and abuse, compassion fatigue, and major life changes. Her approach aims to be respectful, sensitive, and practical for each person’s situation.
Colette adapts conversations and plans to match what each person needs. She uses straightforward talk and goal-focused work rather than clinical jargon.
Background and approach
She encourages small, manageable steps so progress feels real and doable. Her background includes long professional experience in social work and coaching for executives and professionals. That mix gives her experience with workplace stress and role changes as well as personal transitions.
She draws on practical strategies that people can use between sessions. Sessions often focus on building coping skills for day-to-day stress, reducing anxious cycles, and addressing the aftereffects of trauma. She pays attention to communication problems, caregiver strain, and feelings of isolation that can keep people stuck.
Colette works with people who want clear tools and a compassionate, steady presence while they sort things out. She accepts international clients and conducts sessions from Virginia. The aim is to make therapy fit into a person’s real life and responsibilities.
Approaches that guide online sessions
Colette uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques focused on practical change and recovery. One common approach involves skills training for stress and anxiety, teaching breathing, grounding, and behavior strategies to reduce immediate distress and interrupt anxious cycles. These tools help people manage day-to-day symptoms and build steadier routines.She also applies trauma-informed methods that help people process difficult experiences at a pace that feels tolerable. This work combines stabilizing skills with careful discussion of memories and reactions so people can regain a sense of safety and control over daily life.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Colette will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and the problems they want to solve. Together they choose methods and adjust them over time so the plan stays useful and aligned with what the person needs.
Online sessions offer practical flexibility. Video calls approximate face-to-face meetings and allow visual cues, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or when being on camera is difficult, and live chat or text-based messaging support brief check-ins or ongoing coaching between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, and other daily demands.
