Sessions focus on what matters to each person and on small, doable changes that fit daily life. Carol emphasizes listening without judgment and creating a space where thoughts and feelings can be named and examined.

In session she helps people clarify values, set realistic goals, and practice coping tools like mindfulness and behavioral experiments. She offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to suit different routines and needs.

Online session options
How narrative and skills work online
Carol uses Narrative therapy to help people separate themselves from problems and reframe their life stories in ways that feel more empowering. Narrative work often helps when patterns feel stuck, like repeated conflicts, old shame, or unhelpful self-beliefs. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is used to clarify personal values and teach simple exercises that reduce avoidance and increase meaningful action. ACT is helpful for anxiety, depression, and life changes when people want to live by their values despite difficult feelings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) offers practical steps to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors through experiments and homework. CBT can be useful for sleep and eating issues, mood shifts, and managing stress.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Carol collaborates with each person to decide which tools and perspectives fit their goals and day-to-day life. Together they try strategies, review what helps, and adjust the plan so therapy stays useful and relevant.
Online sessions are offered by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different routines. Video is good for a fuller conversation and visual connection. Phone sessions work when bandwidth is limited or a simpler check-in is needed. Live chat and text are useful for shorter updates, quick coping reminders, or when messaging fits a busy schedule. These options make it easier to keep regular contact and practice new skills between sessions.
