Approaches in Online Therapy and What They Offer

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes the client's own goals and perspective, with the therapist providing empathy and support to help people explore their feelings and make choices that fit their values. This approach is useful for issues like self-esteem, life transitions, and relationship concerns.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behavior patterns. It offers practical skills for managing symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress, and for addressing challenges such as addictive behaviors or mood disorder symptoms.

Trauma-Focused Therapy concentrates on helping people process and integrate traumatic experiences, reduce the intensity of traumatic memories, and develop coping strategies for post-traumatic stress and related challenges.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the therapeutic process. Carole collaborates with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan as therapy progresses and new priorities emerge.

Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These formats can make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, support continuity of care during life changes, and enable therapists and licensed professionals to deliver consistent, goal-oriented work without requiring in-person visits.
