More about Carolina

  • 4 years' experience
  • Female
  • LMHC

I am licensed in New York with 4 years of professional work experience. I have experience in helping clients with stress and anxiety, trauma and abuse, & depression. I use a person-centered approach in therapy but also implement Cognitive Behavioral interventions as well as psychodynamic. I have experience working with clients who need encouragement when coping with major life changes and stressors. I work with my clients to create an open, inclusive, and safe environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear of judgment. Taking the leap to ask for help can feel scary and overwhelming, but it is often what leads to a more fulfilling and happier life. You are courageous for making that choice, and I'm here to support you in it.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions. Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.
