How her approaches guide online therapy
Carolyn uses client-centered therapy to keep the work focused on the person's priorities. That means sessions begin with listening and then shape goals and tasks around what the client finds most important. This approach is helpful for a wide range of problems, including stress, low self-esteem, and life direction concerns.She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and testing new ways of thinking. CBT is often used for anxiety, panic, mood disorders, and problems that involve negative thought patterns. Emotionally-Focused Therapy appears in her work with relationship and attachment issues by helping people notice emotions and change interaction patterns that cause pain.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work together. Carolyn will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels useful, and then try methods that fit those needs. This is a collaborative process that can change as progress is made.
