Therapeutic Approaches and Convenient Online Care



Carly George draws on evidence-based approaches tailored to each person's needs. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a respectful, empathetic environment where the client guides the pace and goals of work - this approach is helpful for building self-awareness, self-esteem, and trust within the therapeutic relationship. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors through practical exercises and skill-building, and it is often used for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes. Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative, goal-focused method that supports people who are ambivalent about change, especially useful in substance use and behavior change work.

Finding the right approach is part of the process, and Carly collaborates with each person to determine which methods best match their concerns, goals, and preferences. She adapts strategies as progress unfolds so the work remains client-centered and goal-oriented.

Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, maintain continuity during transitions, and access care from different settings, while still working with licensed professionals and therapists who guide treatment and progress.
