How Carol’s Approaches Work Online

Carol often combines Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in online work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings and take small steps that match their values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and trying new behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety and low mood.

Finding the best fit is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to match approaches to a person's goals and preferences, and adjust methods as progress is tracked. Clients have a say in which skills and strategies feel most useful during sessions.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls let people work face-to-face from a distance and are good for practicing skills in real time. Phone sessions can fit into a busy schedule or use less bandwidth. Live chat and text-based messaging offer shorter check-ins, quick skill reminders, and flexible communication when typing fits better. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent while balancing work, family, and daily life.
