About Collin
Collin Grossruck is a licensed marriage and family therapist who focuses on relationship and trauma work. He offers steady guidance for people facing stress, anxiety, and big life changes.
Background and approach
Collin draws on years of clinical practice to help clients find practical steps forward. He brings 18 years of experience and a background as a retired chaplain to his work.
That background shaped his way of listening - calm, respectful, and attentive to what matters most. He uses straightforward talk and active listening to help people sort through grief, parenting strain, and career concerns.
Collin uses approaches like the Gottman Method to address relationship patterns and Emotionally-Focused Therapy to help people notice and shift emotional responses. He also uses Client-Centered and Solution-Focused techniques to keep sessions goal-oriented and grounded in the client’s priorities.
He works with trauma through methods such as Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing when appropriate. Sessions tend to focus on clear goals: improving communication, reducing anxiety, managing anger, or rebuilding after loss.
Collin helps people break large problems into small, doable steps. He balances practical coaching with attention to feelings and meaning.
He practices in Texas and offers services in English. Collin aims to create a respectful space where clients can speak honestly and start making changes at a pace that fits their life.
How Collin Uses Therapy Models Online
Collin often combines the Gottman Method with Emotionally-Focused Therapy to address relationship patterns and emotional disconnection. The Gottman Method focuses on small behavior changes and communication skills that reduce conflict. Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people identify and shift the emotions that drive interactions, which can ease recurring arguments and increase closeness.He also draws on Client-Centered and Solution-Focused approaches to keep sessions practical and aligned with each person’s goals. Client-Centered work emphasizes listening and understanding the client’s point of view. Solution-Focused techniques help set clear, short-term goals so progress is visible between sessions. Collin will work collaboratively to choose which approaches fit your situation and preferences as part of the early treatment planning.
Online therapy with Collin is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make scheduling flexible. Video is useful when visual cues matter and deeper interaction is needed. Phone sessions require less bandwidth and can fit into a work break. Live chat and messaging are helpful for brief check-ins, ongoing coaching, or when writing feels easier than speaking. These options help people get consistent care that fits their daily routines.
