About Jovens

Jovens Colas is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Connecticut who brings a compassionate, person-focused approach to therapy. With 11 years of experience, he supports people facing depression, anxiety, stress, and major life transitions by listening for the patterns that shape emotional experience and helping clients build practical strategies for change.

He has particular experience addressing men's issues and multicultural concerns, including the effects of prejudice and discrimination. His practice honors how identity and background intersect to influence relationships, coping, and well-being. Jovens emphasizes self-compassion, clearer communication, and personal empowerment as central goals of therapy.

In sessions he explores attachment dynamics, workplace stressors, and recurring emotional patterns that can keep people feeling stuck. Whether addressing grief, trauma, relationship challenges, addiction, or a search for purpose, he works collaboratively to create a tailored plan that aligns with each person’s values and goals. Jovens provides therapy in English and Haitian Creole and aims to offer a respectful space for growth and practical healing.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care



Jovens Colas integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to support meaningful change. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify their values and learn to accept difficult thoughts and feelings while taking steps toward a meaningful life - it can be useful for anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on empathetic listening and unconditional positive regard, creating a nonjudgmental space where clients can explore identity, attachment, and relationship concerns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) works by identifying unhelpful thought and behavior patterns and teaching practical skills to reduce symptoms of stress, anxiety, and low mood.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Jovens works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and adapts techniques as progress is made.

Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options allow scheduling to fit busy lives, make it easier to maintain continuity during life changes, and let people engage in therapy from locations that feel comfortable and convenient. Jovens applies his therapeutic approaches within these online formats to support steady, practical progress.
