About Carolyne

Carolyne Cole is a licensed marriage and family therapist in Florida with eight years of experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, grief, self-esteem, depression, and life transitions. She meets people where they are and helps them take practical steps toward change.

She emphasizes clear, steady support while people work through hard moments. Carolyne approaches therapy as a collaborative process. She treats clients as experts in their own lives and helps them build on existing strengths.

Background and approach

Sessions focus on small, doable changes rather than vague promises. Practical tools and everyday language guide the work. Her background includes work on relationship and intimacy-related issues and on parenting concerns.

She also addresses career struggles, anger, trauma and abuse, and isolation or loneliness. Additional focus areas include blended family issues, caregiving stress, and end-of-life and hospice counseling. Therapeutic methods Carolyne uses include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, mindfulness techniques, Motivational Interviewing, and Narrative Therapy.

She matches methods to the problem at hand and the person’s preferences. The aim is to pick approaches that feel useful and understandable. Sessions are offered in English and take place online through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging.

She works with people navigating difficult changes, from midlife questions to family conflicts. The approach is steady, practical, and focused on helping clients move forward.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

Carolyne often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Emotionally-Focused Therapy in her practice. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and behaviors influence feelings and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns. Emotionally-Focused Therapy, or EFT, helps people identify and express core emotions and reshape how they connect with others, which can be useful for relationship and intimacy concerns.

She also draws on mindfulness techniques to help clients stay present and calm when stress or grief feels overwhelming. These approaches are described and tried together, not imposed. Carolyne works collaboratively with each person to decide which methods best match their goals, needs, and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress is made.

Online therapy offers flexibility for people with busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when that feels helpful. Phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging provide shorter check-ins or ongoing support between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into caregiving schedules, workdays, or other constraints while keeping the focus on practical change and emotional healing.

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.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT)

Attends to the emotions underneath a recurring argument or distance, and to the attachment needs driving them. Often used where a relationship keeps returning to the same painful loop.

Mindfulness Therapy

Attention training: noticing thoughts and physical feelings as they arrive without being carried off by them. Much of it is practice you do yourself, so guidance over video or audio works much as it would in person.
