Background and approach
Dr. Carroll favors plain conversation and practical steps when someone feels stuck, and she aims to make therapy straightforward and useful. In sessions she often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to connect thoughts, feelings, and choices.
She helps people notice unhelpful thought patterns, try different behaviors, and practice strategies they can use again later. She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and client-centered ideas to support values-based change and a respectful, nonjudgmental space. Her style is warm, direct, and occasionally lighthearted.
She values honest feedback and works together with clients to set goals and measure progress. When a case becomes complicated, she asks permission to consult with colleagues to find better ways forward. People choose Dr.
Carroll when they want practical skills and steady support for life transitions, mood concerns, or relationship difficulties. She focuses on helping clients make clearer choices that match what they truly want, and on building tools that last beyond therapy.
How her approaches work in online sessions
Dr. Carroll often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy in session. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts, testing them with real-life experiments, and practicing different actions so feelings change over time. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people clarify what matters to them and take steps toward those values even when difficult feelings are present.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist and client discuss goals and preferences, try techniques, and adjust the plan together. This lets the work stay practical and aligned with what the client wants to accomplish.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can be useful when bandwidth is limited or a quick check-in is needed, and messaging or live chat offer brief, ongoing support between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and to continue work consistently over time.
