How Carolyn’s approaches work online
Carolyn uses client-centered methods and cognitive-behavioral techniques in online sessions. Client-centered work focuses on listening, building trust, and helping people feel heard so they can set their own goals and move at their own pace. Cognitive-behavioral therapy looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and offers clear steps to test new ways of thinking and behaving to reduce symptoms like anxiety or low mood.She also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills when emotions are intense. DBT gives practical tools for regulating strong feelings, managing impulsivity, and improving interpersonal effectiveness. Carolyn treats finding the right mix of these approaches as a collaborative process and tailors techniques to each person's needs and goals rather than applying a single method from the start.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These formats make it easier to fit sessions into busy lives, allow shorter check-ins or longer talks as needed, and offer alternatives when bandwidth or being on camera is difficult. Working this way helps maintain momentum between sessions with messaging and lets therapists and clients try different formats until they find what fits best.
