How Carol’s approaches translate to online work

Carol practices Client-Centered Therapy by focusing on the client's experience and responding with empathy and respect. This approach helps people feel heard, which is often the first step when coping with life changes or grief. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, used alongside that, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new ways of thinking and acting to reduce anxiety and depressive moods.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Carol will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences and will adjust methods as those needs become clearer. She works with clients to choose practical tools and exercises that fit their day-to-day life and emotional pace.
