How these approaches translate to online sessions

Carolina often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. CBT gives practical tools for managing anxiety, depression, and daily stressors. Mindfulness Therapy is used to develop present-moment awareness and decrease reactivity; it can help with grief, chronic pain, and emotional overwhelm.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Carolina collaborates with each person to choose methods that fit their goals and preferences. She recommends trying tools and then adjusting the plan based on what helps most.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, shorten travel time, and allow check-ins from different locations.
