Background and approach
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and routines. Mindfulness practices are added to slow down racing thoughts and reduce stress. For relationship concerns she draws on the Gottman Method to improve communication and rebuild connection.
Solution-focused techniques help set small, achievable goals when life feels overwhelming. Sessions include clear steps and simple tools to try between meetings. Carol has supported people through major life transitions, caregiving strain, bereavement, and workplace stress.
She also addresses intimacy issues, sleeping problems, anger, self-esteem, and career crossroads. Her experience includes work with trauma, first responder stress, and end-of-life counseling. She offers sessions in English and accepts international clients.
Practical matters like scheduling and session format are discussed up front so therapy fits into each person's life. Carol encourages a collaborative process to find what helps most.
How therapy approaches translate to online care
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening without judgment and following the person's lead. Online sessions use that same stance to make space for worries, grief, or relationship concerns and to shape the work around what matters most to the client.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. In an online session this often means identifying patterns, trying new behaviors between meetings, and tracking progress together. Mindfulness practices teach simple attention and breathing skills that can be practiced during video or audio sessions to reduce stress and improve sleep.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't helped before. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as needed in later sessions.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation and guided exercises. Phone work can fit a short break or low-bandwidth situations. Live chat and text messaging let people check in between meetings or use brief written check-ins when a full session doesn't fit. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent and flexible around daily life.
