Evidence-based methods and online care
Carolee uses practical, evidence-informed methods to address symptoms and daily struggles. Cognitive behavioral approaches focus on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and testing small behavior changes that reduce distress and improve functioning. This method is commonly used for mood concerns, anxiety, and impulsivity.She also draws on humanistic and psychodynamic ideas to look at relationship patterns and attachment issues. Those approaches help people understand how past experiences shape current reactions and recurring relationship difficulties. Together, these approaches support both immediate coping skills and longer-term reflection.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Carolee will work collaboratively to pick methods that match the client’s goals, needs, and preferences, and she adjusts the plan as progress is made.
