How her approaches shape online sessions

Carla uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change thought and behavior patterns. CBT sessions often include identifying unhelpful thoughts, trying new behaviors, and practicing skills between meetings. This approach is commonly used for anxiety, depression, and sleep problems.

She also uses Solution-Focused Therapy, which focuses on small, practical steps toward a client’s stated goals. These sessions prioritize what is already working and build short-term strategies to move forward. That method is useful for relationship concerns, parenting challenges, and coping with life changes.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Carla will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She adjusts strategies over time based on progress and feedback.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving, or travel. They can also allow shorter check-ins when schedules require a brief visit. Licensed professionals can use these formats to maintain consistent contact without asking you to rearrange your whole day.
