About Carole
Carole Kaufman is an Ohio LISW with 20 years of clinical experience. She works with people who report stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship and family concerns, and other life changes. Social anxiety and phobia are among the issues she lists. She also addresses caregiver strain, parenting challenges, and concerns that come with aging and chronic illness.
Carole draws on several established approaches in her work. She uses Client-Centered Therapy to focus on the person's experience and to encourage direct conversation about current struggles. She applies Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques to identify unhelpful thinking and to practice different behaviors. She also brings psychodynamic and solution-focused ideas when they fit the situation.
Her background includes a long clinical career that featured work in inpatient geriatric and adult psychiatry at the Cleveland Clinic and years in private practice. She completed a one-year post-graduate training in cognitive behavioral therapy. Those roles exposed her to adjustment disorders, mood disorders, and the needs of people facing sudden or chronic illness.
In sessions, Carole tends to be practical and straightforward. She helps people talk through immediate concerns and build small, manageable changes. She also supports exploration of relationship patterns and family of origin issues that affect daily life.
Many people consult her for parenting guidance, caregiver stress, eating and food-related problems, or midlife concerns. Her experience includes working with issues such as abandonment, attachment problems, codependency, and fertility-related stress.
How her approaches translate to online work
Carole commonly uses Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in her practice. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person’s own perspective and encourages open, honest conversation about current difficulties. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at patterns of thinking and behavior and uses practical exercises to test new ways of coping and responding.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Carole will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels most useful, and she will help decide which methods to emphasize as sessions continue. That decision is collaborative and can change over time as needs shift.
The practical benefits of online therapy include making sessions easier to fit into a busy day and offering options when leaving home is difficult. Confirm the specific session formats she offers before booking, since formats were not specified in the biography. Many people find that remote sessions help maintain momentum between appointments and allow shorter check-ins or flexible scheduling when needed.
