How Carolyn’s approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to what the person says matters most. It is about shaping sessions around the client’s priorities and using questions and reflections to help them clarify goals. This approach is useful for people feeling stuck or uncertain about next steps.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify unhelpful thoughts and trial new behaviors. It often includes short exercises, worksheets, and practice tasks between sessions to build different habits. CBT can help with anxiety, panic, low mood, and getting unstuck after big life changes.
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) attends to emotional patterns in relationships and attachment. It can be helpful when relationship dynamics or repeated interpersonal problems contribute to feeling lost or overwhelmed.
Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. Carolyn will discuss these approaches with the client and choose strategies together based on goals, preferences, and what feels practical. That collaborative process helps decide which techniques to try and how to pace them.
The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let people use phone or lower-bandwidth options if that better suits their situation. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises and homework to remote sessions so progress continues between meetings.
