Background and approach
Together they set clear goals and try approaches that match the client’s needs and preferences. She uses methods from cognitive behavioral therapy to spot unhelpful thinking and to build new coping skills. Mindfulness-based techniques are added to help people manage strong feelings and stay grounded during stressful moments.
Sessions are focused and goal-oriented, with exercises to practice between meetings. Carole often works with people whose anger shows up in relationships or at work, and she helps them build a more positive sense of self. She also supports those facing career changes, compassion fatigue, and past trauma or abuse.
Impulsivity, control issues, and obsessive tendencies are other areas she addresses. People who choose her will find practical tools they can use right away. She encourages small, steady steps and checks progress together.
Her approach aims to increase confidence, improve communication, and reduce the intensity of painful emotions.

How CBT and Mindfulness work online
Carole uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and change the behaviors that follow. CBT focuses on small, practical steps - like tracking triggers and testing new responses - that can reduce anger and anxiety over time.She also draws on mindfulness therapy to teach simple attention and breathing practices. Mindfulness helps reduce reactivity, improve emotional awareness, and make it easier to choose responses instead of reacting on impulse.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist and client decide together which methods fit the person’s goals and daily life. Plans are adjusted as progress is tracked so sessions stay useful and relevant.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different days and needs. Video is helpful for deeper conversations and visual cues, phone calls suit lower bandwidth or hands-free check-ins, and chat or messaging can work for brief updates or coaching between sessions. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent with a busy schedule.
