Therapeutic approaches and online care



Carol commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Client-Centered Therapy in her work. CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors, offering concrete strategies for issues like anxiety, depression, and stress. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathetic listening and unconditional regard, helping clients explore feelings and develop self-directed solutions to personal and relational concerns.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Carol works with clients to consider their goals, preferences, and symptoms, adjusting methods as needed so the treatment aligns with what the client hopes to achieve and how they prefer to work.

Online therapy with Carol can include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexible options for different schedules and communication styles. These formats make it easier to maintain consistency in care, fit sessions into busy lives, and continue work on coping skills and problem solving from wherever the client is located within North Carolina.
