Online support

How Carmen’s approaches translate to online therapy

Two evidence-based techniques Carmen uses are practical problem-solving and communication coaching. Practical problem-solving involves identifying specific problems, breaking them into steps, and testing small changes to see what helps. Communication coaching focuses on clear expression, active listening, and repairing misunderstandings to improve relationships and parenting.

Finding the right fit is a team effort. Carmen works with each person to pick approaches that match their goals and day-to-day life. She checks in regularly and adjusts methods based on what is helpful and what isn’t.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation and practicing skills. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging work well for check-ins, brief problem-solving, or when a shorter interaction fits the schedule. These options help people fit therapy into work, childcare, and other obligations.
