Evidence-based approaches and online care options
Carolyn uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on concrete changes and relapse prevention. One approach helps people recognize patterns that lead to addiction or repeated relationship conflicts and then tests small, manageable behavioral changes to reduce those patterns. Another approach centers on grief and loss, guiding people through practical steps to process loss and rebuild daily routines that support functioning.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Carolyn collaborates with each person to match techniques to their needs, goals, and preferences. She explains options, tries methods in session, and adjusts the plan based on what helps most.
