This approach involves identifying triggers, understanding safety needs, and building skills to respond differently when stressors occur. It is often useful for people who struggle with anxiety or compassion fatigue.She also works from a person-centered stance, which means sessions focus on the client's goals and perspective. That approach emphasizes active listening and collaborative problem solving to shape what happens in therapy, useful when someone is rethinking life purpose or managing a transition.
Finding the right fit is part of the work. Carolynn will collaborate with each person to decide which approaches and techniques make sense given their needs, preferences, and goals. That may mean mixing methods or trying practical skill-building exercises first.
