Carol Fritzsche, LPC

Carol Fritzsche is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 11 years of experience as a mental health therapist and an additional 18 years working with children and families in education and social services. She blends several therapeutic orientations to meet each person's needs, drawing on humanistic and client-centered perspectives alongside cognitive-behavioral, psychodynamic, solution-focused, and cognitive processing techniques. She also holds certification in Prolonged Exposure Therapy, an evidence-based approach used to address PTSD and other trauma-related symptoms.

Carol has worked with individuals facing anxiety, depression, social anxiety, trauma, difficulty with concentration and focus, parenting and relationship challenges, codependency, domestic violence, phobias, mood disorders, Asperger's Disorder, learning disabilities, issues related to chronic illness, grief and loss, and struggles associated with aging. Her practice emphasizes evidence-based interventions tailored to the unique circumstances of each client, and she applies clinical tools chosen to fit specific goals and concerns.

Carol regards the therapeutic relationship as a collaborative journey in which the client’s insights guide the work. She values the courage it takes to seek help and aims to support clients in exploring thoughts, feelings, and behaviors that may be holding them back. Prospective clients are invited to message her or check the calendar to schedule an initial appointment.

Therapeutic Approaches for Online Care

Carol commonly uses client-centered therapy, which focuses on building a supportive, nonjudgmental relationship and helping clients explore their values and goals at their own pace. This approach is useful for people seeking greater self-understanding, improved relationships, or support during life transitions.

She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), a practical method that identifies unhelpful thought and behavior patterns and teaches skills to change them. CBT can be effective for conditions such as anxiety, depression, and difficulties with concentration and mood regulation.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Carol works collaboratively with each client to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting techniques over time as progress and priorities evolve.

Online therapy with Carol is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexible access to care. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, maintain continuity during life changes, and receive ongoing support between appointments from licensed professionals and therapists who adapt methods to the online setting.
