Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support



Carol often uses client-centered therapy, which focuses on creating a supportive, nonjudgmental space where clients lead the conversation and the therapist offers empathy and understanding to foster personal growth. She also applies cognitive behavioral therapy - a practical approach that helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and learn new strategies to manage anxiety, depression, stress, and related concerns. Solution-focused therapy is another tool she uses, concentrating on strengths and small, achievable steps to create meaningful change in day-to-day life.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Carol works with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and personal preferences, adjusting the plan as progress unfolds so therapy stays relevant and effective.

Online sessions allow clients to connect by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for busy schedules, caregiving responsibilities, or mobility limitations. These options make it easier to access regular support, maintain continuity of care, and practice new skills between sessions while fitting therapy into everyday life.
