Background and approach

Carol also supports people dealing with grief, trauma, addictions, and compassion fatigue. Her background includes work across inpatient and outpatient settings and experience with veterans and psychiatric care. That variety shapes her practical style and her emphasis on concrete tools.

She speaks English and practices in Texas as an LPC. Carol describes therapy as a collaborative process. She listens first, then suggests simple strategies clients can practice between sessions.

Her aim is to make therapy feel doable and relevant to daily life. Outside of work she enjoys biking, camping, fishing, reading, and time with family and dogs. These interests inform her relaxed and down-to-earth approach to therapy.

How Carol’s Approaches Work Online

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It focuses on noticing unhelpful thinking patterns and testing small behavior changes to reduce anxiety or depression symptoms. Solution-Focused Therapy centers on practical steps and short-term goals. It helps people identify what is already working and build on simple, achievable changes to move forward.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Carol will listen to the person’s concerns, goals, and preferences, then recommend strategies to try. Over several sessions she and the client check what helps and adjust the plan together so it fits the person’s life and needs.

Online therapy offers flexibility for busy schedules. Video calls support face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be an easier option when less bandwidth is needed or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging work well for short check-ins, skill practice, or when someone needs to fit a session into a break at work. These options make it easier to keep consistent progress while balancing everyday responsibilities.
