Approaches Used in Online Care and What to Expect

Dr. Tina Caro uses client-centered therapy to create a respectful, empathic space where clients lead the pace and focus of sessions while the therapist offers support and reflection - this approach helps people who need understanding and a strong therapeutic relationship as they work through personal challenges.

She also integrates cognitive behavioral therapy - CBT - which focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and teaching practical techniques to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, stress, and other concerns.

When trauma is a central concern, trauma-focused methods are used to address the impact of past traumatic events and to build safety, coping skills, and resilience for daily functioning.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Dr. Caro collaborates with each person to assess needs, goals, and preferences, and she adjusts methods over time so therapy fits the client’s situation and pace.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for scheduling and the ability to receive support from different locations. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives while maintaining consistent contact with licensed professionals and therapists who guide progress toward stated goals.
