Background and approach

Her clinical work spans about 20 years. She has significant experience with adults and with teenagers, and she draws on that background when shaping sessions. In sessions she often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice how thoughts affect feelings and choices.

She also incorporates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Client-Centered ideas depending on what a person needs. The work tends to focus on small, concrete changes clients can use outside of sessions. Dr.

Carroll aims for an honest, collaborative relationship. She asks for feedback and adjusts her style when needed. With permission, she may consult other professionals when a case needs additional perspective.

Her practice offers several online formats including video calls, phone, live chat, and text messaging. Sessions are offered in English and follow a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.

How her approaches guide online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings while choosing actions that match their values. It can be useful for stress, anxiety, and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on how thoughts influence emotions and behavior and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns. This approach is often used for anxiety, depression, and problem-solving in daily life.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences and suggest approaches that fit those needs. Clients are invited to give feedback so the plan can be adjusted over time.

Online sessions can happen by video, phone, live chat, or text messaging to fit different schedules and comfort levels. These options let people work on concrete skills and check in between meetings when needed. The variety of formats makes it easier to maintain ongoing care, handle life demands, and practice techniques in real time.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

Less about arguing with difficult thoughts, more about loosening their grip and acting on what matters to you anyway. Values and committed action carry the work, which suits conversation at a distance.

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.
