About Carole
Carole Calvert-Baxter is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) based in Michigan who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, depression, and provides coaching to support personal growth.
Background and approach
With 17 years of clinical practice complemented by 25 years as a health care executive, she blends practical insight with a client-centered attitude that emphasizes each person's strengths and life story. Carole approaches work believing clients are the experts on their own lives and aims to create a respectful space where progress can unfold at a workable pace.
Her practice also addresses related concerns such as aging and geriatric issues, codependency, commitment and communication problems, family of origin difficulties, hospice and end-of-life counseling, and somatization. Carole draws on methods including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), client-centered therapy, and the Gottman Method to tailor interventions to individual needs.
She frames therapy as a collaborative process that supports empowerment, clearer goals, and practical steps toward a more fulfilling life.
Approaches for Online Work and Flexible Access
Carole uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and client-centered therapy as key frameworks in her online work. CBT involves identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and learning practical skills to change them, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, and stress-related concerns. Client-centered therapy emphasizes empathy, active listening, and supporting clients to discover their own solutions and strengths, which helps people build confidence and clarity about life purpose.Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and Carole treats that choice as collaborative. She will work with clients to explore goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful, adjusting methods as progress unfolds and needs change.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which provide scheduling flexibility and allow clients to engage from different locations. These formats can make it easier to maintain continuity of care around work, caregiving, or mobility constraints while still focusing on practical strategies and supportive, strength-based conversation.
