About Jeralyn
Dr. Jeralyn Carter is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in Hawaii with 18 years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, parenting strain, relationship concerns, trauma, and a wide range of other challenges including ADHD and addiction.
Dr. Carter uses a mix of practical, conversational work and deeper psychological exploration. She helps people set clear, realistic goals and tracks small changes in thinking, feeling, and behavior. Sessions focus on what feels most useful day to day, whether that means brief coping skills or longer reflective work.
Her methods include cognitive behavioral techniques to change unhelpful thinking and behavioral patterns. She also draws on acceptance and commitment ideas that help people notice values and take committed action. Dialectical behavior strategies are used when emotional regulation and distress tolerance are priorities.
Dr. Carter incorporates Jungian ideas and mindfulness into longer-term exploration of meaning, identity, and life transitions. That can help when struggles connect to loss, grief, attachment wounds, or questions about sexuality and intimacy.
She has worked with many different life situations across cultures and ages and accepts international clients as well as those in Hawaii. Sessions address everyday problems like sleep, eating, parenting strain, career stress, and caregiving burden alongside more complex issues such as trauma and co-morbid conditions.

How sessions work
Approaches used in remote sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people connect with what matters and take small steps toward those values even when uncomfortable thoughts or feelings are present. It is often useful for anxiety, life transitions, and coping with persistent distress. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying patterns of thought and behavior that maintain problems and on practicing concrete techniques to change them. It is commonly used for depression, sleep and eating concerns, and anxiety. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness skills. Those tools can help with anger, relationship strain, and intense mood swings.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels helpful, and then try methods that suit the situation. Clients and the therapist check in on progress and shift strategies when needed so the plan stays practical and relevant.
The original biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current online options before booking. Online sessions can make fitting therapy into daily life easier by removing travel, allowing shorter check-ins around work breaks, or offering sessions without video when needed. Many people find remote sessions let them maintain continuity of care while juggling parenting, caregiving, and work responsibilities.
