About Carla
Carla Fort is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 14 years of experience. She greets people with warmth and a steady, upbeat approach. She notices small wins and helps clients build on them one step at a time.
She focuses on anxiety and stress alongside a wide range of concerns including trauma and abuse, depression, anger, addictions, and relationship and family struggles. Other areas she supports include low self-esteem, grief, intimacy-related issues, parenting challenges, career questions, and mood concerns such as bipolar.
Background and approach
She also pays attention to issues like abandonment, codependency, communication problems, control issues, guilt and shame, life purpose, self-love, and social anxiety and phobia. Carla uses several therapeutic approaches to match each person's needs. She practices client-centered care and draws on cognitive behavioral techniques, narrative and psychodynamic ideas, and existential questions when they fit.
Sessions tend to be energetic, compassionate, and practical, with a focus on identifying strengths and making steady progress. Her style is encouraging and direct. She mixes supportive feedback with concrete steps clients can try between sessions.
She also brings a light touch when appropriate, including a bit of humor or a corny joke to lighten difficult moments. Carla works with English-speaking adults from California and helps people who want a collaborative, strength-focused approach. She aims to help clients recognize changes early and build confidence in their ability to cope and grow.
Approach-focused online therapy that fits your life
Client-centered therapy puts the person's goals and experience front and center. The therapist listens closely, reflects what she hears, and helps people steer sessions toward their priorities and values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) uses clear, practical techniques to identify unhelpful thinking and try small experiments that change behavior and mood. Existential therapy invites people to talk about meaning, choice, and direction when life feels uncertain or stuck.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and the issues you bring, then recommend one or a mix of approaches. That decision is collaborative and can change as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video helps preserve face-to-face interaction, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits short check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, parenting, and travel while staying connected to a licensed professional.
