How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Dr. Caro commonly uses client-centered methods and cognitive behavioral therapy in her work. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and responding to what the individual says matters most, helping people explore feelings and choices. Cognitive behavioral therapy looks at thoughts and behaviors, and uses practical exercises to change patterns that increase anxiety or depression.She also uses solution-focused techniques to set short-term goals and measure small changes between meetings. Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. The therapist and client review goals, preferences, and what has worked before to choose or combine methods that fit the situation.
The practical benefits of online sessions include fitting therapy into a busy home schedule and reducing travel time so appointments can occur between work or caregiving duties. Online work can make it easier to keep brief check-ins or more frequent short sessions when life requires it. Because the biography does not list specific session formats, confirm the available options before booking so they fit your routine and technology needs.
