Online support

How CBT and Mindfulness work online

Carole uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and try small behavioral experiments. CBT is practical and goal-focused, which can help with anxiety, mood problems, and obsessive thinking.

She also integrates Mindfulness Therapy to build present-moment awareness and reduce emotional reactivity. Mindfulness skills are useful for anger, stress, sleep difficulties, and for noticing urges before acting on them.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively with each person to choose methods that match their goals, preferences, and daily life. Sessions include planning, trying techniques, and checking what worked so adjustments can be made together.

Online therapy offers flexibility to fit help into a busy schedule. Video calls let people practice skills and get real-time feedback. Phone sessions require less bandwidth and can be a simpler option when needed. Live chat or text-based messaging support brief check-ins, skill reminders, or ongoing coaching between longer sessions.
