About Tommie

Prof. Tommie Colin is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 16 years of clinical experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, and major life changes. She also addresses relationship concerns, grief, addiction, self-esteem, ADHD, and a wide range of other personal challenges.

Her approach centers on helping people name and make sense of strong emotions. She uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) alongside Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Attachment-Based Therapy, and client-centered methods. Sessions focus on practical skills, emotion recognition, and clearer communication about what matters to the client.

Clients can expect a conversational style that prioritizes listening and understanding. The therapist works with each person to set realistic goals and to track progress over time. Interventions may include learning new coping strategies, reframing unhelpful thoughts, and practicing action steps between sessions.

She supports people dealing with specific concerns such as abandonment, adoption and foster care issues, attachment difficulties, caregiver stress, chronic illness and pain, body image, codependency, commitment and control issues, and communication problems. Language options include English and Spanish for sessions.

How her approaches translate to online work

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) is centered on noticing and naming emotions, and then using that awareness to shift unhelpful patterns in relationships and personal reactions. This can help when strong feelings are hard to name or when behavior repeats in ways that cause distress. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying values and taking small actions that reflect those values while learning to live with difficult thoughts. It is useful for anxiety, low mood, and life transitions. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early bonds influence current patterns and helps people see and change repeating interaction styles.

Finding the right method is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each client to choose which approach or mix of approaches fits their goals and preferences. That choice can evolve as therapy continues and as new needs appear.

Confirm the exact session formats before booking. The profile notes use of a subscription model for sessions and that cost varies by location; the subscription can be canceled at any time.
