Approaches Carolyne Uses for Online Therapy

Carolyne commonly integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Emotionally-Focused Therapy into her work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps people identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors that contribute to anxiety, depression, and stress, using practical strategies and skill-building. Emotionally-Focused Therapy, or EFT, centers on understanding emotions and attachment needs to improve connection and communication in relationships, making it useful for couples and individuals dealing with intimacy and relational patterns.

She also incorporates Mindfulness Therapy, which teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce rumination and increase present-moment awareness, assisting with stress, anxiety, and emotion regulation. Carolyne collaborates with each client to determine which combination of approaches best matches their goals, needs, and preferences, viewing the selection of methods as a shared and evolving process.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to provide flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options allow clients to engage in therapy from their own environment, making it easier to fit consistent care into busy lives and to continue therapeutic work through transitions and changes.
