Approaches that guide online work
Carol uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors that reduce distress. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, and many daily challenges and focuses on practical steps you can practice between sessions.She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy which helps clarify what matters most to you and build small, value-driven changes. ACT supports coping with difficult feelings while moving toward personally meaningful goals.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. The therapist will work collaboratively with you to choose methods that match your needs, goals, and preferences. That means trying things, checking what helps, and adjusting the plan together over time.
Confirm the available session options before booking, since formats were not specified in the biography. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments around daily life, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It can also allow more consistent follow-through on skills practice and homework between meetings.
