Background and approach

Her background includes long experience in trauma work and interventions for difficult life moments. Over two decades she has worked with people facing a range of challenges and has developed methods to address both immediate coping and longer-term growth. Her LCMHC credential reflects her professional standing as a clinician in Utah.

Carolshene blends talk-based work with strategies from cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, EMDR, mindfulness, and client-centered approaches. That mix supports processing painful memories, shifting unhelpful thinking, and learning emotion-regulation skills. People who choose her can expect straightforward feedback, concrete skill practice, and a focus on rebuilding daily functioning.

She helps clients set realistic goals and track progress so therapy feels active and practical.

How therapy approaches translate to online care

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and responding to what matters most to the client. In online sessions this looks like the therapist reflecting concerns, asking clarifying questions, and helping clients name their goals so each meeting feels relevant.

Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. The therapist and client identify unhelpful thinking patterns and test small behavioral changes between sessions, which works well over video or phone when clients can report real-life practice.

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, EMDR, is used to help people process distressing memories. In an online setting the therapist guides structured exercises and paced recall while monitoring the client's responses and adjusting as needed.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and past experiences to decide whether CBT, EMDR, mindfulness, or a client-centered path is the best fit. That decision is collaborative and can change as progress is made.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video lets people work face-to-face when schedules allow, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits brief check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These options add flexibility so therapy can fit work, caregiving, and travel demands.
