About Colette
Colette Thomas-Lamothe is a licensed clinical social worker with ten years of practice in New Jersey. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and self-esteem concerns. Her work centers on practical steps that clients can use day to day.
Colette listens for the patterns that keep people stuck and helps them try different ways to respond. Sessions are straightforward and goal-oriented, with attention to how relationships and life transitions affect mood.
Background and approach
She emphasizes skills people can use between sessions to reduce panic, quiet overwhelming thoughts, and improve communication. Her approach blends mindfulness, cognitive-behavioral ideas, and solution-focused strategies. Colette also draws on techniques that address emotion regulation and interpersonal skills to help with social anxiety, shame, and isolation.
She aims to make therapy feel relevant and doable for busy adults. She works with people facing long-term health issues, aging and geriatric concerns, or chronic pain and disability, helping them cope with the emotional side of those challenges. Colette also supports people navigating divorce, control issues, forgiveness, and life purpose questions.
The practice style is collaborative and paced to each person. Clients who want concrete tools for panic attacks, clearer communication, or stronger self-love may find her approach helpful. She holds a New Jersey LCSW and conducts sessions in English.
Approaches for anxiety and online care
Colette uses mindfulness techniques to help people notice physical sensations and racing thoughts without getting swept away by them; this can be helpful for panic attacks and ongoing anxiety. She also applies cognitive-behavioral ideas that look at how thoughts influence feelings and behavior, offering specific exercises to test and change unhelpful thinking patterns. Finding the right method is part of the work together. Colette will collaborate with each person to choose approaches that match their goals, needs, and comfort level, and she will adjust methods based on what helps most over time. Online therapy offers practical flexibility for people with busy lives or health limitations. Video calls allow for face-to-face conversation when visual cues matter. Phone sessions work when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging provide ongoing, lower-intensity support between sessions or for those who prefer written communication. These options make it easier to build consistency and practice new skills in daily life.Questions people ask
