More about Carla

  • 9 years' experience

  • LPC

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with a broad base of counseling experience with; children, adolescents and families. Areas of emphasis; mood disorders, anxiety disorders, bi-polar disorders and Asperger/Autism Spectrum. I view mental health holistically, incorporating the roles of mind, body and spirit as key components to healthy living. I am a relationships based counselor, which uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Solution Focused Therapy as my models for treatment.

Considerable experience working with adolescence who have suffered various types of physical and or sexual abuse, varying degrees of trauma, dysfunctional family systems and physical disabilities. Experience dealing with teen social issues, divorce, couples and self harm.

I am a relationships based therapist with a focus on developing skills which will assist clients in managing everyday issues. I attempt to establish a therapeutic connection with clients to create a safe and honest atmosphere for growth and understanding of ones needs.

About online counseling

Affordable.
Pay a low flat fee.
Convenient.
Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
Available now.
There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Carla is a caring soul and does a great job both empathizing but helping her client understand limits, boundaries, and areas of growth in a gentle way. I'm grateful to have been working with her these past few months.
