About Colette
Colette Kuznia is a licensed professional clinical counselor (LPCC) practicing in Minnesota. She has 35 years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and anger. Colette emphasizes practical, goal-focused work to help people make changes they can use day to day.
Her approach draws on Cognitive Behavioral Health methods to identify unhelpful thinking and shift behaviors that get in the way. Sessions are collaborative - the client and Colette set clear, realistic goals together and check progress regularly.
Background and approach
She focuses on skills people can practice between sessions. Colette has long experience with trauma and abuse recovery and supports people navigating grief and major life changes. She also helps with relationship concerns, intimacy-related issues, parenting strain, career questions, and challenges related to ADHD and bipolar mood patterns.
Anger is an identified focus and she works with clients to develop safer ways to express and manage strong feelings. Her style is open and empathic. People can expect a calm, nonjudgmental space to talk through difficult thoughts and emotions.
Colette aims to balance practical strategies with understanding the life context behind a concern. To begin, she recommends a clear plan that matches the individual's needs. That plan may include skill-building, short-term coaching goals, or longer-term work depending on what the person wants to achieve.

How evidence-based techniques translate to online care
Colette uses Cognitive Behavioral Health strategies that identify patterns of thinking and behavior and replace them with more helpful choices. This approach helps with anxiety, depression, anger, and the everyday problems that come from unhelpful thought patterns.She also applies trauma-informed ways of working that focus on safety, pacing, and building coping skills. That approach supports recovery from past hurts and helps people manage strong emotional reactions in the present.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Colette will collaborate with each person to pick techniques that match their goals and preferences, and she adjusts plans as progress is tracked. Therapy can include short-term coaching goals or longer-term skill-building depending on what the client wants.
Online therapy offers several practical benefits. Video calls let people see nonverbal cues and do longer sessions, phone meetings can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat works for a quicker check-in, and text-based messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to keep up momentum between meetings.
