About Carol
Her style is warm and straightforward. She listens first, then collaborates with each person to set practical goals. Sessions include talk, problem-solving, and mindfulness practices to ease anxiety and improve daily coping.
Carol draws on client-centered ideas that prioritize the person’s own goals and values. She often uses cognitive behavioral techniques to spot unhelpful thinking and try different coping skills. Mindfulness exercises are used when stress and rumination need calming.
Over two decades as a counselor she has supported people through divorce, loss, identity questions, caregiver strain, and major life transitions. That experience informs a pragmatic approach that focuses on small, achievable changes rather than vague promises.
People who work with her can expect a steady, collaborative process. Carol helps clients identify what matters most, test new habits, and adjust plans when life shifts. She encourages finding meaning and purpose while addressing mood, anger, and self-esteem struggles.

How these approaches guide online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice what matters to them and take small steps toward those values even when emotions are strong. It can help with anxiety, grief, and life transitions by focusing on action tied to personal goals.Client-Centered Therapy centers the person’s experience and priorities. The therapist listens without judgment and partners with the client to clarify goals and choices, which is useful for building self-esteem and finding purpose.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at unhelpful thoughts and tests new behaviors. It’s practical for mood disorders, worry, and coping with change because it breaks problems into manageable exercises and experiments.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Carol will help identify which methods fit a person’s needs and preferences. She collaborates on goals and adjusts techniques as progress is made, so the plan evolves with the client.
