Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people clarify their values and take small steps toward them even when difficult thoughts or feelings appear. It is useful for anxiety, stress, and decisions that feel stuck. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, CBT, focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and behavior and uses concrete exercises to change unhelpful patterns. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, and problem-solving in daily life. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, offers skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improving relationships when strong emotions cause problems. Finding the right approach is part of the process. Dr. Carroll works together with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. She adjusts tactics as progress is made and invites feedback to keep the work practical and relevant.

Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time so people can use breaks or quieter parts of the day. Many people find that learning skills and practicing exercises between meetings translates well to everyday life.
