Online support
Online approaches that fit your needs
Carolyn uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy to help people tune into emotions that drive their reactions. This approach is useful when feelings get in the way of connection or personal goals.She also uses Client-Centered Therapy, which means sessions are guided by the person's concerns and goals. The therapist listens closely and adapts pacing so the person feels heard and understood. In addition, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps identify unhelpful thinking and builds practical skills for anxiety, depression, and stress management.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Carolyn works together with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. This collaborative planning helps shape session focus and the kinds of skills practiced between meetings.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls let people connect face to face from wherever they are; phone sessions work when bandwidth is limited or a camera feels like too much. Live chat and text-based messaging provide brief check-ins and ongoing support between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, parenting, and busy schedules.
