How Caroline's Approaches Work Online

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and understanding each person's priorities. It helps people feel heard and builds a roadmap based on what matters most to them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and behaviors keep problems going and teaches concrete tools to change them. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress management.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and then suggest techniques to try. That plan is reviewed and adjusted over time so the work stays useful and practical.

Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to match different needs. Video lets you use visual cues and longer conversations. Phone sessions are a good fit when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging allow quicker check-ins and ongoing support between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and keep momentum between meetings.
