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 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.
