Therapeutic approaches in online sessions
Carolyne commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors. CBT often focuses on practical steps to reduce anxiety and lift mood by changing patterns of thinking and action.She also draws on emotionally-focused therapy to help people understand and articulate feelings in relationships and during difficult life moments. EFT can assist with improving emotional connection and handling intense feelings that come up around loss, conflict, or intimacy issues.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Carolyne will talk through goals, try techniques, and adjust based on what helps most. Clients and therapist decide collaboratively which methods to emphasize as needs and preferences become clearer.
Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video makes it easier to use visual cues and pacing similar to in-person meetings. Phone sessions can be a simpler option when bandwidth is limited or a quick check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging allow shorter or more frequent check-ins and can fit conversations into busy days.
