Approaches Carolyn Uses for Online Therapy
Carolyn draws on client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and emotionally-focused therapy (EFT) to guide her online work. Client-centered therapy emphasizes empathic listening and collaboration, helping clients feel heard and respected as they identify their own goals and solutions. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and teaches practical skills to reduce anxiety, manage stress, and change reactions that interfere with daily life. EFT targets emotional patterns within relationships and individual experience, helping people understand and shift the emotional responses that affect connection and intimacy.Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process; Carolyn works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adapts techniques over time as progress and priorities evolve.
Online therapy with licensed professionals offers flexibility in how people connect - through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging - making it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, manage caregiving or work responsibilities, and receive support from different locations.
