How Carol’s Approaches Translate Online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that match what matters to them. It can be helpful for anxiety, depression, and managing ADHD-related frustrations. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and changing behaviors through practical exercises and homework, which is useful for stress, mood shifts, and sleep or eating patterns.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Carol will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped in the past. She treats the process as collaborative and adjusts methods as progress and needs change.
Online sessions offer flexibility for people with busy schedules or limited travel options. Video calls allow full conversation and visual cues, phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit a shorter break, and live chat or text messaging can support quick check-ins or ongoing support between meetings. These formats make it easier to keep continuity of care and to practice skills in daily life.
