About Colleen
Dr. Colleen McMahon is an Ohio psychologist (OH Psychologist P.07693) with seven years of practice in clinical settings. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, parenting challenges, anger, ADHD, grief, sleep problems, depression, and related concerns. Sessions focus on practical strategies and clear goals rather than theory for its own sake.
Before private practice she worked in schools, hospitals, and clinics supporting people with learning and behavioral differences. Her background includes work with autism, ADHD, adoption and foster care issues, attachment concerns, and caregiver stress. She also teaches psychology and brings research findings into everyday clinical work.
Her approach blends Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, Mindfulness Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing. In sessions she uses strength-based and solution-focused techniques to help people manage symptoms, reduce reactivity, and pursue realistic goals at home and work.
When the concern is parenting or child behavior, she helps parents develop clear plans and consistent responses so the household runs with less conflict. For adults with ADHD and autism spectrum differences, she focuses on strategies that support organization, impulse management, and career or relationship goals.
She frames therapy as a collaborative process. Together with each client she evaluates what methods are working and adjusts the plan. People who want practical tools for handling anger, building resilience, or improving day-to-day functioning will find a goal-focused, research-informed style.
How sessions work
How ACT, CBT and client-centered work online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting dominated by them, then move toward chosen values and actions. It is useful for resentment, rumination, and stress that keeps someone stuck. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and changing behaviors that maintain anger or anxiety; it often includes practical exercises and short homework tasks. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and working at the client’s pace so practical solutions can emerge from the person’s own priorities.Finding the right blend of these approaches is part of the process. The therapist works collaboratively to test methods, keep what helps, and change what does not. Goals, preferences, and everyday demands guide which tools are used and how they are introduced.
Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove commute time. It also supports using in-the-moment strategies at work or home and lets clinicians assign brief practice tasks between meetings to build new habits.
