About Carolyne

Carolyne Cole is a licensed marriage and family therapist practicing in Florida. She brings eight years of experience helping people navigate stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, and depression. Carolyne emphasizes collaboration and respects each person's knowledge of their own life.

She believes people carry strengths they can use to face hard moments. In sessions she listens for the stories clients tell about themselves and looks for patterns that keep them stuck.

Background and approach

That approach helps people make small changes that lead to clearer choices and less overwhelm. Carolyne uses Narrative Therapy alongside cognitive and emotionally focused ideas. She helps clients reframe difficult memories, test new ways of thinking, and strengthen important relationships.

Mindfulness practices are offered to ground strong emotions and reduce reactivity. Practical goals often include managing daily stress, coping with loss, rebuilding self-confidence, or sorting through major life changes. She supports people dealing with intimacy issues, parenting strain, career transitions, and caregiving challenges.

Work can include short-term problem solving or longer conversations about life purpose and meaning. Sessions aim to feel calm and direct. Carolyne encourages homework that fits each person’s routine, like short mindfulness exercises or small behavior experiments.

The focus is on useful steps clients can take between sessions to notice change.

Online session options

How narrative and practical approaches work online

Carolyne draws on Narrative Therapy to help people rethink the stories they tell about themselves. This approach looks at how life events and relationships shape identity and helps clients try new storylines that allow different choices and behaviors.

She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. CBT offers straightforward tools to challenge unhelpful thoughts and build new habits, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, and stress. Emotionally-Focused Therapy is used to name and work with strong emotions in relationships, helping people recognize patterns and communicate needs more clearly.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Carolyne will talk with each person about goals and preferences and then tailor methods that fit those aims. She encourages short practical exercises between sessions to test changes and build momentum.

Online sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video lets people read facial cues and have deeper conversations, while phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging can suit people who prefer written pacing or need flexible, ongoing support between scheduled sessions.
