Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care
Carolyn Williams incorporates client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and trauma-focused therapy into her online practice. Client-centered therapy emphasizes listening, empathy, and collaboration so clients can explore their feelings and values and build self-understanding; it is often useful for issues like low self-esteem, relationship concerns, and life transitions. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and patterns and developing practical skills to manage stress, anxiety, and mood-related symptoms. Trauma-focused therapy concentrates on addressing the impact of traumatic experiences with approaches aimed at reducing distress and improving daily functioning.Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Carolyn works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods align with their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress unfolds. This collaborative stance helps ensure the work feels relevant and manageable.
Online therapy offers flexible options including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, access support from home, or maintain continuity during transitions. Licensed professionals can use these formats to provide consistent, supportive care while accommodating different communication styles and scheduling needs.
