How her approaches translate to online sessions
Carla uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different responses. CBT sessions look at specific thoughts and behaviors, then set small experiments to see what changes in daily life. This approach is useful for anxiety, stress, and improving self-esteem.She also draws on Client-Centered Therapy, which puts the client's concerns and goals at the center of each session. That means sessions often begin by listening carefully and then working together to choose practical next steps. Mindfulness Therapy is used to teach simple attention and breathing practices that reduce reactivity and support calmer decision making.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Carla will discuss options and help decide which combination fits a person's goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process where methods are adjusted as needed.
The original biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm the current session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, shorten commute time, and allow for quick check-ins when needed. They also make it possible to practice new skills in the settings where problems occur.
