More about Carole
- 15 years' experience
- Female
- LMFT
As a licensed therapist with over 15 years of experience, I specialize in supporting individuals navigating complex emotional landscapes. My practice focuses on helping clients address challenges like depression, anxiety, trauma, and life transitions. I have deep expertise in supporting individuals struggling with social anxiety, isolation, and feelings of loneliness, and I'm particularly passionate about helping people rediscover their sense of purpose and personal meaning.
My therapeutic approach is compassionate and collaborative, designed to create a safe space where clients can explore difficult emotions, work through past experiences, and develop healthier coping strategies. I understand that healing is a deeply personal journey, and I'm committed to walking alongside my clients with empathy, respect, and professional guidance.
I welcome clients of all backgrounds, with a special sensitivity to older adults and those seeking a non-religious therapeutic approach. Whether you're dealing with panic attacks, processing a significant life change like divorce, or working through feelings of guilt and shame, I'm here to support your growth and emotional well-being.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
