In practical terms, sessions include talking through current problems, learning brief skills, and working step-by-step on past experiences that continue to cause distress.
Her approach is straightforward and goal-oriented. She works collaboratively to set clear priorities and small, manageable steps. Homework or practice exercises may be suggested between sessions when helpful.

How she uses evidence-based methods in online sessions
Carina commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing practical changes in thinking and behavior. CBT sessions often include brief skills training and problem-solving to reduce anxiety and stress.She also uses Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, a structured method for processing distressing memories tied to trauma. EMDR involves guided processing of specific memories to lessen their emotional impact and can be used when past events continue to cause strong reactions.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to weigh goals, symptoms, and preferences, and then pick techniques that fit. That decision is revisited as progress is made.
Confirm current session formats before booking, since this biography does not list specific formats. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a weekday, reduce travel time, or allow shorter check-ins during a break. Talk with the therapist about what schedule and session length work best for your situation.
