How Carol’s Approaches Can Work Online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on helping people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It teaches actions that match personal values so life can move forward even with anxiety or loss. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and behaviors affect mood and teaches practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns. It’s often used for depression, anxiety, and coping with stress. Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to how early relationships shape current trust and intimacy. It can help people understand patterns in close relationships and improve communication and connection.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Carol will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, preferences, and day-to-day needs. That means trying techniques, adjusting the plan, and focusing on what helps most in real life.
