Therapeutic approaches and online care
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on relationships and early emotional bonds, helping clients understand how past connections influence present feelings and patterns. This approach can be useful for people dealing with attachment issues, abandonment, blended family challenges, and difficulties forming or maintaining close relationships.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps clients identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It is practical and skills-focused, supporting people experiencing anxiety, stress, panic attacks, and mood symptoms by teaching tools for emotion regulation and problem solving.
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, known as EMDR, is a trauma-informed approach that assists people in processing distressing memories and reducing their emotional intensity. It is often used when traumatic experiences are contributing to ongoing symptoms and daily distress.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Carolyn collaborates with each person to determine which methods best fit their goals, needs, and preferences, adapting the plan as progress is made.
Online sessions by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging offer flexibility for busy schedules, caregivers, and those balancing multiple responsibilities. These options make it easier to access licensed professionals from different locations and to continue care in a way that fits each person’s life.
