Approaches and Online Care That Meet You Where You Are
Carolyn integrates Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to meet each person’s needs. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a compassionate, nonjudgmental relationship in which the client’s priorities guide the work; it is especially helpful for building self-understanding and confidence. CBT focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, offering practical tools for anxiety, depression, and mood regulation. DBT provides concrete skills in emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, which can be valuable for intense emotions and relationship challenges.
