How Carie’s Approaches Work Online

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building trust. The therapist follows the client's lead, helps parents name their priorities, and uses empathy to create a safe space for change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, teaches clear skills to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors; it is useful for anxiety, panic, mood problems, and coping with life changes.

Carie treats finding the right method as a team effort. She talks with clients about goals and preferences, then suggests approaches to try. Together they check what helps and adapt the plan over time so therapy fits the family's needs.

Offering video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging adds flexibility. Video lets therapists and parents connect face to face from home. Phone sessions work when a screen is not convenient. Chat and text let people check in between visits or share quick updates. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around busy family schedules.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.

EMDR

A structured protocol used with distressing memories, pairing recall with guided attention tasks. Some therapists adapt it for video sessions; whether that fits is worth asking about directly.
