About Carol
Dr. Carol Schwartz is a Michigan psychologist with 33 years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, ADHD, depression, and parenting concerns. She speaks plainly and focuses on practical steps that families and individuals can use right away.
Many clients come for help with sleep problems, anger, relationship strain, and life transitions. Dr. Schwartz uses clear, goal-focused conversations to identify what is most pressing.
She often breaks worries into manageable pieces and teaches simple skills people can practice between sessions.
Background and approach
Her approach is active and problem-solving rather than long, open-ended exploration. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, is a common part of her work. She helps people notice the thoughts and habits that feed anxiety and depression, and then experiments with new behaviors to reduce distress.
This often includes short exercises, homework, and checking progress each week. Her background includes long experience across many concerns, from addictions and trauma to mood and obsessive-compulsive problems. She has worked with people at different life stages and with a wide range of challenges such as hoarding, phobias, postpartum depression, and seasonal mood shifts.
Sessions are offered in English and are available through video, phone, live chat, or text messaging to fit different schedules. To begin, a simple matching questionnaire and scheduling step connect people to her practice in Michigan.
How CBT and online sessions can fit your life
Dr. Schwartz frequently uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), a hands-on method that helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and try small behavior changes to reduce symptoms. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, panic, and many everyday worries.She applies practical coaching alongside CBT to set clear short-term goals and track what works. The therapist collaborates with each person to choose approaches that match their goals and daily routine rather than applying a single fixed plan.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls are good when visual cues and a face-to-face feel matter. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or when a simpler check-in fits a busy day. Live chat or text messaging can be helpful for brief updates, homework check-ins, or when someone prefers writing to speaking.
These options make it easier to fit sessions around school, work, or caregiving. The therapist and client decide together which format and pace best support progress and comfort.
