Approaches Carol Uses in Online Therapy
Carol uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help clients clarify their values and learn practical ways to accept difficult thoughts and feelings while moving toward meaningful goals. ACT can be useful for stress, anxiety, and life transitions. She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning; CBT is commonly applied for anxiety, depression, and coping challenges. In addition, Carol draws on Client-Centered Therapy, offering a supportive, nonjudgmental space where clients lead the pace and focus of sessions and receive empathetic understanding to build self-awareness and confidence.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Carol works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods fit best based on their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting techniques as progress unfolds.
Online therapy with Carol is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexible options to fit different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it easier to access regular sessions from various locations and maintain continuity of care while balancing other commitments.
