Approach-Focused Online Care with Flexible Access

Carolina Dudley uses several evidence-informed approaches to tailor care to each person's needs. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy and respect, allowing clients to guide sessions and explore their values, identity, and personal strengths in a supportive setting. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, teaching practical skills to reduce anxiety, manage mood symptoms, and change unhelpful patterns. Motivational Interviewing helps people clarify goals and build motivation for change by exploring ambivalence and reinforcing personal reasons for growth.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Carolina works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods best match their goals, preferences, and life circumstances, and she adjusts her strategies as progress is made.

Online therapy with Carolina is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for busy schedules, mobility limitations, or geographic constraints. These options make it easier for clients to maintain continuity of care, access support from home or work, and choose the communication format that feels most comfortable for them.
