About Carol
Dr. Carol Schwartz is a Michigan psychologist with 33 years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, parenting challenges, and life transitions. She meets people where they are and focuses on practical steps parents can use right away.
Sessions are conversational and goal-oriented to address everyday struggles like sleep problems, anger, low mood, and attention concerns. Her approach emphasizes clear strategies and simple tools. Dr.
Schwartz commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact.
Background and approach
She works with clients to identify unhelpful patterns and practice small changes that add up over time. Dr. Schwartz has supported people dealing with addiction, trauma and abuse, and relationship strain.
She also works with concerns such as postpartum depression, phobias, obsessive-compulsive behaviors, and seasonal mood shifts. Parents often consult her for guidance on handling challenging child behaviors and the stress of caregiving. Practical coaching is part of her style when people want direct advice and skill-building.
She adapts pace and techniques to each person’s needs, whether someone is new to therapy or has seen therapists before. Sessions aim to leave parents with clear next steps they can try between meetings. Based in Michigan, she offers services in English.
Dr. Schwartz describes therapy as a collaborative effort that begins when someone takes the first step to reach out and schedule an appointment.

Practical strategies and online therapy options
Dr. Schwartz often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) in her online work. CBT helps people spot unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, try small experiments, and build new habits to reduce anxiety, improve mood, and tackle sleep or attention problems. Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. She will discuss goals and preferences with each person and adjust methods as needed, combining coaching-style guidance with skill practice when helpful. Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide practical flexibility. Video calls are useful for a focused, face-to-face conversation. Phone sessions can be a simpler option when bandwidth is limited or someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging work well for quick check-ins, brief coaching, or when people want to reflect over messages rather than speak in real time. These formats make it easier to fit therapy around parenting schedules, work breaks, or other daily demands and allow continuity of care when in-person visits are hard to arrange.Questions people ask about Carol
