Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Carolyn often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people identify and change unhelpful thought and behavior patterns. CBT is practical and skills-focused, and it is commonly used to address anxiety, stress, and difficulties with self-esteem.

She also draws on Motivational Interviewing to support clients who are working through ambivalence or seeking greater motivation for change. This approach centers on listening, clarifying personal values, and building internal motivation to move toward meaningful goals.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Carolyn works collaboratively with each person to determine what fits best based on their needs, goals, and preferences. She adapts techniques and paces work to match where someone is at and what they hope to achieve.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, which makes it easier to fit therapy into a busy life or to connect from different locations. These options provide flexibility in scheduling and allow people to engage in therapy in ways that feel most comfortable and usable for them.
