Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Caroline draws on several evidence-informed approaches to support clients. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early and current relationships shape patterns of emotion and connection - it can help with relationship difficulties, trust issues, and attachment-related stress. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental stance where the therapist listens deeply and helps the person explore their own goals and values - this approach is useful for building self-esteem, clarifying life purpose, and increasing motivation. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) works by identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and developing practical strategies to change them - CBT is often effective for anxiety, depression, and stress management.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Caroline works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adjusts the plan as progress unfolds.

Online therapy with Caroline can be delivered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to access consistent support from licensed professionals without traveling, and they allow therapy to fit around work, family, and other commitments.
