Remote sessions using structured, evidence-based care
Carol uses a range of established therapeutic frameworks to address symptoms and patterns that cause distress. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors. Dialectical Behavioral Therapy contributes skills for regulating emotions, tolerating distress, and improving interpersonal effectiveness. Schema-informed ideas help explore long-standing patterns rooted in early experiences and consider new ways of relating to oneself and others.
Her trauma-informed orientation shapes how sessions are paced and planned, with attention to safety, stabilization, and gradual processing when appropriate. Therapy is collaborative and tailored to each person’s goals, values, and strengths, with structured treatment planning to track progress.
Carol offers remote care through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options allow people to engage in ongoing work while coordinating with their schedules and communication preferences.
