About Caroline
Caroline Vass is an AASW social worker with 20 years of experience supporting people through stress and anxiety. She works with individuals facing relationship strain, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem and life transitions. Her style is calm and practical, aimed at helping people make small changes that add up over time.
Caroline focuses on clear conversation and practical strategies. She listens first, then suggests tools that fit the person she is talking with.
Background and approach
Sessions include checking how a strategy felt and adjusting it as needed. Her approach can include talking about past attachments and how they affect today, learning skills to manage strong emotions, and noticing thought patterns that feed worry. She uses techniques from several common therapies and picks what will help each person reach their goals.
Caroline also supports people dealing with grief, addiction concerns, postpartum depression and career or life-purpose questions. She offers coaching-style work for motivation and practical problem solving alongside therapy for deeper issues. People who prefer a respectful, down-to-earth counsellor tend to fit well with her way of working.
She aims to create a steady, predictable process so clients know what to expect as they work toward calmer days.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships shape current patterns. Online sessions help people notice those patterns and practise new ways of connecting and responding to others. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviours. In an online session this often means setting small practical tasks between meetings and reviewing progress together. Dialectical Behaviour Therapy, or DBT, teaches emotion regulation and distress tolerance skills. These skills can be practised in phone check-ins or reinforced with short messages between video sessions.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Caroline will talk with each person about goals and preferences, and together they decide which methods to try first. She adapts techniques if something does not fit or if needs shift over time.
Online therapy offers flexibility in how people connect. Video calls let clients use face-to-face conversation when that helps. Phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging suit short check-ins, skill coaching, or quick reflections between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and other commitments while keeping a steady pace of support.
