Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support
Carol Shields uses a blend of well-established approaches to suit different needs. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people clarify their values and build psychological flexibility - it can be useful for stress, anxiety, and life transitions by encouraging action in line with what matters. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on empathy, active listening, and creating a supportive space where individuals are encouraged to explore feelings and find their own solutions; it is often helpful for relationship concerns, self-esteem, and confidence. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviours and offers practical strategies for reducing symptoms of anxiety and depression and improving coping skills.
Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Carol works collaboratively with each person to identify which methods make the most sense based on their goals, preferences, and the issues they bring to therapy, and she adjusts the plan as progress unfolds.
Online therapy with Carol is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options can make it easier to access consistent support from licensed professionals, accommodate busy lives, and maintain momentum between sessions.
