How Carol’s Approaches Work Online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people clarify what matters most and take small actions that match those values. It focuses less on eliminating feelings and more on building a meaningful life alongside difficult thoughts and emotions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and behaviors interact and teaches concrete skills to change unhelpful patterns. It is often used for anxiety, depression, sleep and eating concerns by practicing new responses and testing assumptions.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Carol will talk with clients about goals, preferences, and what feels helpful. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as progress unfolds, keeping the process collaborative and practical.
Online therapy offers flexible options like video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for full sessions with visual cues, phone can fit a quick check-in or lower bandwidth situations, live chat supports shorter exchanges, and messaging lets clients share thoughts between meetings. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or busy schedules while still focusing on skills, emotional processing, and goal-directed steps.
