Evidence-Informed Approaches and Online Care
Dr. Carroll commonly draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy in her work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying and testing unhelpful thoughts and developing alternative patterns of thinking and behavior to reduce symptoms and improve decision making. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy emphasizes clarifying personal values, accepting difficult emotions, and committing to actions that move a person toward a more meaningful life.Finding the right approach is treated as a collaborative process. The therapist listens to each person’s concerns, goals, and preferences and adapts methods over time so that interventions match what is most helpful for the client. Clients are invited to give feedback and help shape the focus of sessions as therapy progresses.
Online therapy with Dr. Carroll is offered through flexible formats such as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options support scheduling around work and family responsibilities, allow people to continue care from different locations within the region, and make it easier to practice skills between sessions. Licensed professionals can use these formats to maintain continuity of care while tailoring interactions to each client’s needs.
