Background and approach
Carla treats each person as the expert on their own life. Sessions emphasize strengths and realistic strategies rather than blame. She helps clients break larger problems into manageable actions they can try between meetings.
Her background includes a Master of Science and licensure as an LPC in Mississippi, and she brings a decade of professional experience to sessions. She also has a focus on intellectual disability and adapts approaches to individual needs. Carla offers multiple ways to meet, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging.
She accepts clients outside the U.S. who prefer English sessions. New clients start by completing a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a session.
Approaches and online care that fit your life
Carla uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on concrete change and improved daily functioning. One common approach emphasizes behavior-focused steps to increase motivation and tackle tasks that feel overwhelming; this helps with low motivation, ADHD, and stress by turning goals into small actions. Another approach centers on problem-solving and skills coaching to improve career decisions and workplace performance; sessions break down choices and build practical strategies for next steps.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Carla collaborates with each client to pick methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they review what’s working and adjust techniques so therapy stays useful and goal-directed.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to suit different routines. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual cues matter. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit into a break at work. Live chat or text messaging can be a shorter check-in or a way to stay connected between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit coaching and therapy into busy lives without traveling.
