How Carol's Approaches Guide Online Work
Client-Centered Therapy means listening first and responding to each person's needs. The therapist focuses on understanding your perspective and building a trusting, respectful connection that guides the work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. It uses clear steps and experiments to reduce anxiety, depression, and unhelpful patterns. Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on concrete goals and small changes. Sessions often identify strengths and practical next steps to move toward those goals.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. Carol will collaborate with each client to decide which methods fit best for their goals and preferences. That may mean combining listening and validation with skill-building and short, actionable tasks.
