Carolyn Rainwater, LPC

Therapeutic approaches that work in online care

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and respect for each person's perspective. The therapist reflects what the client says and helps them find their own solutions, which is useful for stress, grief, and self-esteem concerns.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and changing behaviors that keep problems going. It often includes simple exercises and homework to reduce anxiety, improve mood, and address addictive patterns.

Solution-Focused Therapy targets small, practical changes that lead to quick relief. Sessions concentrate on goals and steps the client can try between meetings to see measurable progress.

Choosing the right approach is a team effort. Carolyn works with each person to decide which methods match their goals and preferences. She adjusts strategies over time based on what helps most, making the plan more effective and realistic.

Online therapy offers real flexibility. Video calls let visual cues guide conversations, phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit into short breaks, live chat works for quicker check-ins, and text messaging supports ongoing, moment-to-moment coaching. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, caregiving, and other obligations.
