How Carol-Ann Uses Approaches Online

Carol-Ann uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify stress-producing thoughts and try new behaviors. CBT sessions focus on practical exercises and small experiments that can be done between appointments to reduce anxiety and manage daily stress.

She also uses Narrative Therapy to help people tell and reshape the story they carry about themselves. This approach can help with grief, relationship patterns, and life transitions by highlighting strengths and alternative perspectives.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Carol-Ann treats the selection as collaborative, matching methods to a person’s goals, preferences, and the issues they bring. That way the plan fits the person and can change as progress is made.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit a break at work. Live chat or text messaging can support shorter check-ins or ongoing feedback between longer sessions.
