Background and approach
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, is used to identify unhelpful thoughts and try different ways of thinking and acting. Solution-Focused Therapy helps keep work practical and goal oriented. That approach is useful for clients who want short-term plans and concrete next steps.
Ciarra also brings experience with mood-related concerns such as bipolar disorder and Seasonal Affective Disorder, and with anger, impulsivity, and addiction-related issues. She pays attention to how problems overlap, so co-occurring concerns like anxiety and substance use are looked at together. Ciarra also supports people facing family problems, guilt and shame, questions about life purpose, and young adult challenges.
Sport counseling and athlete life coaching are additional areas she has worked in. Sessions are offered in English and delivered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text messaging. Working with Ciarra is presented as a collaborative process where goals are set together and progress is checked along the way.
How Ciarra’s Methods Work Online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following the client's lead. In practice this means the therapist reflects back what she hears, helps clarify feelings, and supports people as they decide what they want to change. This approach is helpful when someone needs acceptance and space to make choices.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the connection between thoughts, feelings, and actions. Online CBT sessions may include tracking moods, trying small behavioral experiments, and practicing new ways of thinking to reduce anxiety and improve focus. Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on small, practical steps toward clear goals and is useful for people who want short-term plans and measurable progress.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will ask about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they try methods that match the client's needs and adjust plans based on what works in real life.
Online formats - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text messaging - offer flexibility for different routines. Video is good for full conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit a break at work. Live chat and text are useful for quick check-ins, shorter sessions, or ongoing support between appointments. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent and to try tools in day-to-day situations.
