Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care
Carleigh draws from cognitive behavioral therapy, attachment-based approaches, and mindfulness practices to support people working through a range of concerns. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) helps identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, useful for anxiety, depression, and stress-related difficulties. Attachment-based therapy focuses on how early relationship patterns influence current connections and supports repair of communication and intimacy problems. Mindfulness therapy cultivates present-moment awareness and self-compassion, which can reduce reactivity and improve emotional regulation after trauma or during life transitions.Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Carleigh works collaboratively with each client to determine which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She tailors interventions over time so the work aligns with what matters most to the client.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to engage with licensed professionals. Carleigh provides sessions via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, allowing clients to choose the format that fits their schedule and comfort level. This flexibility can make ongoing care more accessible during busy or transitional periods.
