About Carole
Carole Bakke focuses on people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, grief, or life changes. She is a licensed independent mental health practitioner, LIMHP, with 12 years of experience. Carole aims to offer a calm, straightforward space where people can speak about hard things and find practical ways forward.
Carole listens for what matters most to each person and helps them build everyday skills for coping. She often works on communication problems, social anxiety, and issues around self-esteem and body image.
How Carole works
She also supports people dealing with divorce and separation, guilt and shame, or the isolation that can follow big life shifts. Her style is warm and goal-minded. Sessions focus on clear steps people can take between meetings, not just talking.
That might mean practicing new ways to handle conflict, testing small changes in social settings, or learning techniques to reduce anxiety symptoms. Carole pays attention to the whole situation, including relationships, practical stressors, and inner beliefs that keep problems going. She helps people reconnect with purpose and self-love while working toward realistic change.
Progress is paced to the person's needs and comfort. Carole provides sessions by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging for people in Nebraska. Her practice uses a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.

Approaches and how online sessions work
Carole uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques focused on practical change. One common approach involves building coping skills and step-by-step plans to reduce anxiety and manage stress. This helps people practice new responses to worry and improve daily functioning. Another emphasis is on improving communication and social confidence by rehearsing conversations, testing small changes in real life, and reflecting on what went well. That kind of work targets relationship friction and social anxiety.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist and client review needs, goals, and what feels most useful. They then try strategies and adjust based on what helps most, working at a pace the client finds manageable.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different schedules and preferences. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation and seeing nonverbal cues. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Chat and messaging allow brief, ongoing support between live sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and keep momentum between meetings.
