About Colleen

Dr. Colleen McMahon is an Ohio psychologist who blends evidence-based techniques with a warm, accepting therapy style. She emphasizes practical strategies that parents and adults can use right away to reduce stress and improve daily life. Dr. McMahon brings a strengths-focused approach to sessions and works to tailor methods to each person’s needs.

She has experience in schools, hospitals, and clinics and describes herself as a psychology professor who translates research into usable therapy. Though her profile lists seven years in the current context, her background includes long experience with learning and behavioral disorders, autism, ADHD, and parenting concerns. This mix shapes how she helps people manage behavior and find calmer routines at home.

Dr. McMahon often uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and client-centered techniques alongside mindfulness and motivational interviewing. She aims to help adults with ADHD and autism organize goals, reduce stress, and meet work and life priorities. Sessions emphasize practical steps and building on what already works for the person.

People seeking help with parenting, caregiver stress, grief, sleep problems, anger, or mood concerns can expect a collaborative focus on strengths and solutions. Her stated goals are to improve coping, increase resilience, and support clearer communication at home and work.

Sessions are conducted in English and Dr. McMahon is based in Ohio as an OH Psychologist P.07693. She encourages prospective clients to consider whether her practical, research-informed style fits their needs before scheduling.

How her approaches guide online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying values and taking small actions that matter to you. It can help with anxiety, stress, and making progress on meaningful goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact and teaches practical skills to break unhelpful patterns. That approach often helps with mood, sleep, and worry. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening, empathy, and letting the client guide the pace of change while the therapist offers support and reflection.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will collaborate with each person to try methods that fit their needs and goals. If something doesn’t feel helpful, she adapts the plan so techniques are usable and comfortable for the client.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into busy days, shorten check-ins when schedules call for it, and reduce travel time. Many people find remote sessions make it simpler to connect regularly and to practice skills between meetings. Licensed professionals, including this therapist, can help identify a rhythm of sessions that matches your life and challenges.
