About Carol
Carol Fritzsche is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 11 years of experience in mental health care. She helps people who struggle with stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, anger, parenting challenges, relationship and family concerns, grief, self-esteem, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and compassion fatigue. Carol uses straightforward, practical methods in sessions.
She draws on client-centered ideas to focus on each person's goals. She also uses cognitive behavioral tools to address unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, and mindfulness strategies to reduce stress and increase present-moment awareness.
How Carol works
Her background includes work in education and social services, which shaped how she supports people facing life transitions and caregiving strains. She has experience with aging and geriatric issues, autism and Asperger syndrome, chronic pain and illness, and problems tied to caregiving and family roles. In a typical session Carol helps clients set manageable goals and try small, useful changes between meetings.
She combines longer-term reflection with practical steps for day-to-day improvement. Conversations tend to be collaborative and paced to the client's needs. Carol values a respectful working relationship where clients guide the process.
She encourages people to be honest about what feels helpful and what does not. That input guides how therapy unfolds and which techniques are used.

Online support options
Approach-focused online therapy and flexible formats
Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental working relationship where the client directs goals and pace. This approach helps when someone needs to feel heard and build confidence in making changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and trying different behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety and depression. It is useful for stress, mood concerns, and practical problem solving.Finding the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will work with clients to decide which ideas fit best based on their needs, goals, and preferences. Sessions can adapt over time so techniques change as progress is made.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversations when visual cues are helpful. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins. Live chat and text messaging work well for people who prefer writing or need flexible, brief contact during the week. These options make therapy easier to fit around work, caregiving, and other responsibilities.
