More about Caroline

  • 5 years' experience
  • Female
  • LMFT

I am a licensed LMFT in California with 5 years of experience as a therapist. I specialize in working with people in the LGBTQIA2S+ community. I also have experience in helping clients with stress and anxiety, relationship issues, & motivation, self esteem, and confidence.

I use a person-centered approach and evidence-based practices to help my clients discover ways to live that are calmer and more functional. Many of my clients report that therapy with me helps them to have more meaningful relationships, find work that gives them more of a sense of purpose, and improve their confidence and present-centered attention. It takes courage to reach out for help, and I am already proud of you for taking that step. Your whole self is welcome here.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.

Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
