Remote care blending evidence-based strategies
Charnell Benjamin-Carter offers online sessions that combine structured skills work with exploration of underlying patterns. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, while Acceptance and Commitment Therapy supports clients in clarifying values and taking action aligned with those values. Mindfulness practices are integrated to help increase present-moment awareness and emotional regulation.
Emotionally-Focused Therapy and a Client-Centered stance guide work around relationships and attachment, encouraging open expression and collaborative problem solving. Motivational Interviewing is used when ambivalence about change is present, especially in work related to addictions and behavior change. Sessions aim to balance short-term problem solving with attention to deeper relational and trauma-related dynamics.
Online options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These formats are presented as ways to engage in treatment that fit different preferences and schedules, and sessions are conducted using the communication methods listed.
