Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support
Carol combines client-centered, existential, and psychodynamic approaches to support people in online therapy. Client-centered therapy focuses on empathy, active listening, and helping clients draw on their own strengths to address issues like low self-esteem, stress, and relationship concerns. Existential therapy explores themes of meaning, choice, and life direction, which can be helpful for those facing grief, emptiness, or major life transitions. Psychodynamic work looks at recurring patterns and past influences on present behaviour, useful for attachment difficulties, abandonment concerns, and long-standing relationship problems.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey. Carol works collaboratively with clients to identify which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adapts the process over time based on what helps the client make progress. Registered professionals will guide that exploration and tailor the work to each person.
Online therapy with Carol is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility around work, caregiving, or mobility constraints. These options make it easier to access support from home or another convenient location and to choose the format that feels most comfortable for each step of the therapeutic process.
