About Colleen

Dr. Colleen McMahon is an Ohio-licensed psychologist (OH Psychologist P.07693) who draws on evidence-based therapies to help people manage stress, anxiety, ADHD, grief, and related life challenges.

Background and approach

She blends cognitive behavioral techniques with client-centered and mindfulness-informed practices to create practical, strength-focused plans tailored to each person's goals. Dr.

McMahon emphasizes adaptability in treatment so interventions fit the client's preferences and daily life. Her background includes work across education and clinical settings, and she brings seven years of experience to her current practice.

She often employs solution-focused and motivational strategies to help clients clarify priorities, address impulsivity or sleep difficulties, and pursue career and life-purpose goals. Her style is described as warm and accepting, with a focus on building resilience and reducing distress so clients can function more effectively in work and home contexts.

Integrating evidence-based approaches with flexible online care

Dr. McMahon often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people identify unhelpful thinking patterns and develop practical strategies for managing anxiety, mood, sleep, and impulsivity. CBT focuses on changing thoughts and behaviors to produce measurable improvements in daily functioning.

She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), which encourages clients to clarify personal values and practice mindful acceptance of difficult thoughts and feelings while taking committed action toward meaningful goals. ACT can be especially useful for stress, life transitions, and challenges related to concentration and motivation.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist discusses options with each person, adapts methods based on what resonates, and checks progress over time to ensure the plan meets the client's needs and goals.

Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase accessibility and fit different schedules. This flexibility allows clients to engage in therapy from their own locations, use shorter check-in formats when useful, and coordinate care around work and family commitments.
