Attachment, CBT, and collaborative online care
Carol combines Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to offer flexible online support. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships influence current patterns and helps people address difficulties in closeness, abandonment concerns, and relationship dynamics. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating an accepting, empathetic environment where a person’s own values and goals guide the work, which can be especially helpful for building self-esteem and confidence. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and offers practical strategies for managing symptoms of anxiety, low mood, and stress.Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Carol works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. Licensed professionals and therapists often blend techniques to suit a client’s situation, and Carol tailors her approach in the same way.
Online sessions - whether by video call, phone, live chat, or text messaging - make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and to access support from home. These options offer flexibility in scheduling and communication style, allowing people to choose the format that feels most comfortable for their progress.
