About Colleen

Colleen Clark is a licensed clinician practicing in Maryland with 10 years of professional experience helping individuals navigate stress, anxiety, parenting challenges, motivation, self-esteem and confidence, and depression. She combines clinical training with a calm, nonjudgmental approach to create an environment where feelings and thoughts can be expressed openly and explored constructively. Colleen emphasizes practical skills and compassionate listening so clients can identify patterns, build coping strategies, and move toward the changes they want to make.

Colleen holds an MD (medical doctor) and an LCSW-C, which is a licensed clinical social worker credential, reflecting training in both medical and social work perspectives. She understands that taking the first step toward therapy takes courage and she acknowledges that effort while supporting clients through the early stages of work together. Her practice prioritizes collaboration and respect, guiding people to clarify goals and try approaches that fit their values and daily lives.

Whether addressing day-to-day stressors or deeper emotional concerns, Colleen aims to help clients find clearer paths forward by combining practical tools with an accepting, strengths-based stance.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care Options

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without being ruled by them, and then commit to actions that align with their values - it can be useful for anxiety, stress, and motivation challenges. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on relational patterns formed in close relationships and helps address issues like attachment concerns, abandonment, and difficulties in family or parenting dynamics by improving connection and understanding. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches practical techniques to identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, often providing relief for depression, anxiety, and low self-esteem.



Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the work. Colleen Clark works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adapting strategies over time as progress unfolds.



Online therapy through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging offers flexible options to fit daily life and scheduling needs. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity of care during busy weeks, manage parenting or work commitments, and access support from home. For many people, remote sessions provide a convenient way to practice new skills in real-life contexts while staying connected with a licensed professional.
