She draws on therapies that help people change unhelpful thoughts, strengthen emotional connections, and build motivation to move forward.
How Carol works
She has a long background in counseling on substance use, domestic violence, sexual assault, and career-related decisions. That experience informs how she approaches grief, anger, intimacy issues, family conflict, and mood disorders. Her goal is to help people find clearer choices and safer next steps.
Carol describes healing as a process that often includes forgiveness and rebuilding a sense of self-worth. She supports clients as they sort through family history, blended family challenges, or the fallout of separation and infidelity. Practical coping skills and steady emotional support are central to her approach.
Therapy with her commonly addresses communication problems, codependency, compassion fatigue, and the lasting effects of trauma and abuse. She also helps people cope with life changes, isolation, and issues connected to veteran and armed forces experiences.

Online support options
How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people identify and respond to strong emotions that affect relationships. It focuses on building new patterns of emotional connection and is useful for intimacy-related concerns and communication problems.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. It teaches practical techniques to change thinking patterns and try small behavioral experiments that reduce anxiety, depression, and addictive urges.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide whether CBT, EFT, or motivational strategies fit best based on goals and comfort. Plans are adjusted as needs change so sessions stay relevant and focused.
Online therapy offers flexibility in how people connect. Video calls let the therapist and client work face to face when bandwidth allows, phone sessions work well for lower bandwidth or brief check-ins, and live chat or text-based messaging can support ongoing feedback between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to keep momentum between appointments.
