Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care with Carole Whitty



Carole integrates client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy to guide her online practice. Client-centered therapy emphasizes listening, empathy, and respect for each person's perspective - it helps clients feel understood and supports growth by focusing on strengths and personal goals. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) offers practical tools to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and develop skills to manage anxiety, mood challenges, and stress-related behaviors. When appropriate, she also draws from dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) techniques to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness skills useful for strong emotions and relationship difficulties.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Carole collaborates with clients to explore which methods align with their needs, goals, and personal preferences, adjusting strategies as progress is made. This collaborative stance helps tailor the work so therapy feels relevant and achievable.

Online therapy with licensed professionals offers flexibility - sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and communication styles. These options make it easier to access ongoing support, practice skills between sessions, and maintain continuity of care when life is busy or circumstances change.
