Approaches Carmen Uses and How Online Therapy Works

Carmen draws on client-centered therapy to create a supportive environment where the client’s perspective guides the pace and focus of sessions. This approach emphasizes empathy and collaboration, and it is well suited for people seeking a respectful, individualized space to explore life changes, stress, or relationship concerns.

She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), a practical, goal-oriented method that helps identify and shift unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors. CBT is commonly applied to anxiety, depression, and coping with everyday challenges to produce concrete tools for managing symptoms.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Carmen works with clients to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting strategies over time as progress and circumstances evolve.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which offer flexibility for clients balancing work, family, or mobility needs. These formats allow licensed professionals like Carmen to provide consistent support across different schedules and locations, making it easier to maintain momentum in therapy and access help when it is needed.
