Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care with Valerie Carr
Valerie Carr integrates client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) into her online practice. Client-centered therapy emphasizes empathy, active listening, and collaboration so clients feel heard and supported while exploring values and goals - it is well suited to relationship concerns, self-esteem work, and life transitions. Cognitive behavioral therapy helps identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors through practical exercises and coping strategies, which can be effective for anxiety, depression, and stress-related problems. Motivational interviewing is also used to help clients resolve ambivalence and strengthen motivation for change, a useful approach for addictions and behavior change.
Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Valerie works collaboratively with each client to assess needs, preferences, and goals, and she recommends or adapts methods that best fit the client's situation. This collaborative planning helps ensure therapy feels relevant and achievable.
Online therapy with Valerie offers flexible options including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, allowing clients to schedule sessions around work, caregiving, or mobility constraints. These formats support continuity of care and make it easier to maintain progress over time while receiving guidance from a licensed professional.
