Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care
Carol draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients identify unhelpful thought patterns and develop practical strategies to manage symptoms of anxiety, depression, stress, and behavioral concerns. CBT focuses on the relationship between thoughts, feelings, and actions and offers structured tools for change.
She also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills to support emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. DBT is useful for learning concrete coping skills when emotions feel overwhelming or relationships are strained.
Attachment-Based Therapy informs Carol s work with relational and intimacy-related issues by exploring early connection patterns and how they shape current interactions. This approach can help clients address abandonment, attachment challenges, and communication problems in close relationships.
Choosing the right approach is collaborative. Carol partners with each client to assess needs, goals, and preferences and tailors methods over time to find the best fit. Online sessions offer flexibility - appointments can take place via video call or phone, and shorter check-ins are possible through live chat or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and maintain continuity of care with licensed professionals and therapists regardless of logistical barriers.
