Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care
Carole utilizes Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and patterns and building practical strategies to manage symptoms and improve daily functioning. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, and problems with coping skills.
She also employs solution-focused techniques that emphasize identifying goals and small, actionable steps to create change. This approach can be helpful for clients seeking concrete progress around relationships, parenting, career transitions, or adjustment challenges.
Carole may draw on psychodynamic ideas when exploring how past experiences and relationship patterns influence current feelings and behaviors, offering a deeper understanding of long-standing issues such as attachment, grief, or family of origin concerns.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Carole collaborates with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. She works with clients to adjust methods over time as circumstances and objectives evolve.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which offer flexibility for people with busy schedules, caregiving responsibilities, or limited mobility. These modalities make regular contact with licensed professionals and therapists more accessible and allow therapeutic work to fit into varied lifestyles.
