Therapeutic approaches and online care

Carolina often integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Client-Centered Therapy into her online practice. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and practicing concrete skills to change them, which can help with anxiety, depression, stress, and sleep or eating concerns. Client-Centered Therapy centers the client's experience, offering empathetic listening and validation to help people explore feelings and make choices that align with their values.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and she works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods feel most useful. Together they set goals, try different techniques, and adjust the plan as progress and preferences become clearer.

Offering video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, online therapy provides flexibility for people with busy schedules or geographic constraints. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity of care, try short check-ins or longer sessions, and choose the communication style that best supports day-to-day life while working toward emotional and relational goals.
