Background and approach

Sessions often focus on clear goals, manageable changes, and concrete ways to handle daily challenges. Carole uses approaches that include Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, plus elements from the Gottman Method where helpful. That means she spends time understanding a person's experience, offers tools to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, and works on improving communication patterns when relevant.

She also supports people facing aging or geriatric concerns, codependency, commitment and communication problems, and family of origin issues. Additional areas include hospice and end-of-life counseling, somatization, and finding life purpose. These are addressed with practical conversation and focused exercises.

Carole aims to make beginning therapy straightforward. She helps people set realistic next steps and adapts methods to fit real-life schedules. Her background in health care leadership informs a problem-solving, organized approach to meeting goals.

04Online support

How these approaches work online

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a respectful, listening environment where the person leads the conversation. Online sessions use that same approach so the therapist follows the client's priorities and reflects back what is most important to them.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, teaches concrete skills to change thoughts and behaviors that fuel anxiety, depression, or stress. In online work that can include homework, worksheets sent between sessions, and step-by-step practice in daily life.

The Gottman Method centers on improving communication and understanding in close relationships. When relevant, it provides specific exercises and ways to talk differently that can be practiced during and between online sessions.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and practical needs and then try methods that fit. Sessions are adjusted over time based on what helps most for the client's situation.

Online therapy offers flexibility with video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video is useful for deeper conversations and visual cues, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and chat or text can work for brief check-ins or when writing feels more comfortable. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to use methods that suit how a person prefers to communicate.
