Background and approach
Sessions often include goal-setting, new coping skills, and ways to manage day-to-day problems. She commonly draws on faith-based ideas when clients want that perspective. Her background includes long experience in mental health, chemical dependency, domestic violence, and caregiving settings.
She has worked extensively with older adults and understands issues that come with aging, such as health-related stress and grief. That experience shapes how she approaches medical and emotional concerns together. Many clients come for help with relationship strain, caregiver stress, chronic illness, or life transitions like divorce or end-of-life planning.
Carol supports people through guilt, shame, loneliness, and questions about life purpose and money. She also works with obsessive thoughts, panic, phobias, paranoia, and personality-related struggles. Therapy with Carol blends Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, cognitive behavioral ideas, mindfulness, client-centered listening, and psychodynamic perspectives.
The work is collaborative - Carol helps people pick practical steps that fit their values and daily life.

How Carol’s approaches work online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It focuses on choosing actions that match what matters most to you and can help with anxiety, grief, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, CBT, looks at how thoughts affect behavior and mood; it teaches specific skills to change unhelpful thinking and manage symptoms like panic or depression. Client-Centered Therapy centers the conversation on the person's experience and values, offering an accepting space to explore feelings and make decisions.Deciding which approach to use is a joint process. Carol works with each person to figure out what fits their goals and preferences. She may blend methods over time, checking in and adapting tools so they match what a person needs in daily life.
Online sessions include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video lets you work face-to-face from wherever you are. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit a break at work. Live chat and text are helpful for short check-ins, written reflections, or when typing feels easier than speaking. These options make scheduling more flexible and allow therapy to fit into busy or changing routines.
