About Carla
Carla Fort is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 14 years of experience helping people navigate difficult moments. She works with clients on stress, anxiety, anger, depression, addictions, grief, relationship and intimacy concerns, and other life challenges. Carla brings an upbeat, encouraging presence to sessions and notices small steps forward.
Carla uses a client-centered stance that keeps the person's goals front and center. She also draws on cognitive behavioral ideas to help people spot thought patterns that feed stress and anger.
Background and approach
Sessions are conversational and focused on practical next steps you can try between meetings. Her background includes many years supporting people through trauma, work transitions, and struggles with self-esteem and codependency. She explains things plainly and helps clients break big problems into smaller tasks.
This makes change easier to manage and less overwhelming. Carla values cultural differences and says life experience has taught her to listen before offering input. Her approach mixes encouragement with tools for handling intense emotions and rebuilding routines after hard events.
She also helps people think about life purpose, boundaries, and healthier communication habits. People who prefer an affirming, active therapist may find her style a good match. Sessions include emotion-focused conversation, skill practice, and homework when useful.
Carla aims to help clients move forward at a pace that feels doable.

Therapeutic approaches and online delivery
Carla commonly uses client-centered methods and cognitive behavioral therapy to help people manage strong emotions and stressful thoughts. Client-centered work focuses on listening and following the person's goals, creating space to talk things through and build confidence. Cognitive behavioral therapy looks at the connection between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches concrete techniques to reduce anxiety, anger, or depressive patterns.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Carla will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That choice can change over time as progress is made and priorities shift.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat lets someone check in quickly during a break, and messaging supports brief, ongoing contact between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and maintain continuity of care.
