Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Carolyn Hallinan draws from client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, and mindfulness practices to help clients build insight and practical skills. Client-centered therapy centers the client's voice and experience, creating a collaborative space where goals are shaped by the individual's values and strengths - this approach can be especially helpful for relationship concerns, self-esteem, and finding life direction. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and developing concrete strategies to manage symptoms of anxiety, depression, and anger.

Mindfulness techniques are used to help clients increase present-moment awareness and reduce reactivity, which can support coping with stress, grief, and chronic emotional pain. Carolyn approaches treatment as a partnership - she works with clients to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress is made and new priorities emerge.

Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility by allowing sessions by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, maintain continuity during life transitions, and choose the mode of communication that feels most comfortable for each client. Licensed professionals can adapt these formats to provide focused, practical therapeutic work in a format that supports each person's life circumstances.
