About Carol
Dr. Carol Schwartz is a Michigan-licensed psychologist with 33 years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, parenting challenges, and life changes. She also works with concerns like depression, sleep problems, anger, addictions, ADHD, and relationship issues.
Her style is straightforward and practical, aimed at parents and caregivers who want clear steps they can try at home. In sessions she uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, focusing on changing patterns of thinking and behavior that keep problems going.
Background and approach
She talks through skills for handling worry, improving sleep, and managing strong emotions. Conversations are direct, with specific strategies a parent can test between meetings. Dr.
Schwartz has supported people who are new to therapy and those with long histories of treatment. She describes therapy as a positive, collaborative process and invites clients to take the first step. Her experience spans work with children through older adults on mood and anxiety concerns.
Appointments can include coaching elements to help clients meet practical goals. She aims to make sessions easy to understand and to build small changes that add up over time. The focus is on real-life tools rather than abstract talk.
Her practice is based in Michigan and conducted in English. Parents looking for help with parenting, behavior, or emotional concerns will find a clinician who emphasizes simple, testable techniques and steady progress.
Practical CBT and flexible online sessions
Dr. Schwartz uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. CBT breaks problems into thinking, feeling, and acting, and then teaches step-by-step techniques to reduce anxiety, improve mood, and change difficult routines.Finding the right approach happens together. The therapist and client discuss goals, try techniques, and adjust the plan as needed. That collaborative process makes it easier to choose tools that fit a familys daily life and a parents schedule.
Online formats are offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy weeks, follow up between appointments, and use homework tools while at home. For parents juggling work and childcare, the flexibility of online meetings can reduce travel time and help maintain continuity of care.
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.
