She focuses on stress, anxiety, grief, self-esteem, depression, and coping with major life changes. Carla works with people who feel stalled after a transition and want practical ways forward.
Her style is straightforward and collaborative. She treats clients as the experts on their own lives and looks for strengths to build on. Sessions often include clear steps to manage symptoms and small experiments to try between meetings.
Carla draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful patterns and try different responses. She also uses EMDR and hypnotherapy when those approaches fit a person’s history and goals. Mindfulness practices are often woven into sessions to reduce immediate stress and improve focus.
Many people come to her feeling low, overwhelmed by loss, or unsure about what matters next. She offers concrete tools for mood regulation, grief processing, and rebuilding confidence after change. Conversations include checking practical steps like daily routines, relationships, and finances when these affect well-being.
Carla works in English and practices in North Carolina. Her experience includes a range of adult concerns, including aging or cancer-related issues and worries about money or eating. People ready to try therapy can expect a mix of talking, skill-building, and hands-on exercises aimed at making everyday life more manageable.
Therapeutic approaches and working online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small steps in that direction, even when difficult thoughts or feelings show up. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on noticing unhelpful thinking and testing new behaviors to reduce anxiety and low mood. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is used to process distressing memories and can reduce the intensity of traumatic reactions when that fits a client's history and goals.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. Plans can be adjusted over time based on what helps most in day-to-day life.
Confirm current session options before booking because the biography does not list specific formats. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They also let people use audio-only or video settings depending on comfort and bandwidth. Ask about the available formats when you select the See online therapy options button so you can pick what fits your routines.
