About Carole
Carole Whitty is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) in California with six years of clinical experience. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, family conflict, anger, low self-esteem, and major life changes.
She works in a straightforward way that focuses on thoughts, feelings, and actions. Carole uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to notice unhelpful thinking and try different responses. She also draws on client-centered techniques to listen and reflect what matters most to each person.
Clients may talk through everyday problems like workplace stress, communication breakdowns, or parenting strain. Carole also supports people with caregiver stress, mood concerns, and social anxiety. Conversations can cover practical skills for managing impulses, anger, guilt, or decision-making about life purpose.
Her style aims to be practical and focused. Sessions often identify small, testable changes people can make between meetings. Carole uses elements of Dialectical Behavior Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy when they fit the situation and goals.
She works in English and practices in California as an LMFT. People who want to begin are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the provided online options.
How her approaches fit into online sessions
Carole uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors. CBT is practical and structured, and it can help with anxiety, mood concerns, and stress by breaking problems into manageable steps.She also uses Client-Centered Therapy, which focuses on listening and reflecting what the person says so goals become clearer. That approach helps when someone needs space to talk through values, relationships, or life changes.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Carole will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels most useful, then agree on methods together. That collaborative choice can change as progress is made.
Session logistics should be confirmed before booking since formats are not specified in the biography. Ask which online session options are available when you schedule. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time so sessions are more practical for everyday life.
