Evidence-Based Therapy Approaches, Delivered Online
Carol Mbaya draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help clients work through concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, trauma-related symptoms, relationship strain, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on noticing unhelpful thought patterns and building practical strategies to shift behaviors and day-to-day responses, which can be especially useful for anxiety, low mood, and overwhelm.Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) supports emotional regulation and distress tolerance by teaching skills for managing intense feelings, improving communication, and making values-based choices. Schema Therapy explores long-standing patterns that may come from earlier life experiences, helping clients understand recurring themes in relationships, self-worth, and coping, and develop healthier alternatives.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Carol collaborates with each client to clarify goals, understand what has and has not helped in the past, and tailor sessions to preferences, strengths, and current needs.
