Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care with Rae Carnevale

Rae employs client-centered therapy to create a respectful, collaborative relationship that prioritizes each person’s values and goals. This approach focuses on listening and understanding so clients can clarify what matters most and move forward at their own pace.

She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), a practical method that helps identify unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and replace them with more effective strategies. CBT is often helpful for managing anxiety, depression, and stress by teaching concrete coping skills.

Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) skills are integrated when emotion regulation, interpersonal effectiveness, and distress tolerance are needed. These skills offer step-by-step tools for handling intense emotions and improving communication.

Finding the right fit is a collaborative process; Rae works with clients to determine which approaches align with their needs, goals, and preferences and adjusts the plan as therapy progresses.

Online sessions via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging provide flexibility for busy schedules and different comfort levels. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, access support from home, and choose the format that best supports each person’s path forward.
