Online therapy grounded in evidence-based approaches

Kathleen Carpentier draws from well-established therapy models to support concerns like trauma and abuse, depression, addictions, relationship stress, and intimacy-related challenges. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on noticing unhelpful thought patterns and daily habits, then practicing new ways of responding that better support mood, sleep, and self-esteem.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients make room for difficult thoughts and feelings while building a life guided by personal values. This approach can be especially useful when someone feels stuck, overwhelmed, or caught in cycles that do not match the life they want to live. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) supports individuals and couples in understanding emotional needs and strengthening connection, which can be helpful for communication struggles, trust concerns, or the impact of past experiences on relationships.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Kathleen collaborates with clients to choose methods that fit their goals, preferences, and what they are facing right now, adjusting as therapy unfolds.

Online therapy offers flexibility without sacrificing depth. Clients can meet through video calls or phone sessions, or use live chat and text-based messaging to stay engaged between sessions and access support in a way that fits their schedule and comfort level.
