Background and approach

Sessions are collaborative and geared toward real-life changes rather than only talking about problems. Her style is warm and direct. She aims for honesty and clear feedback in the therapeutic relationship.

Many clients work on learning skills they can use between sessions, such as coping techniques and behavior experiments that target unhelpful thinking patterns. Dr. Carroll regularly combines approaches like cognitive behavioral techniques, acceptance and commitment ideas, and client-centered listening to match each person’s needs.

She pays attention to values, purpose, and the moments that make life feel meaningful or empty. This helps people facing despair, loss, or major life transitions find direction. She is experienced at helping people set measurable goals and try practical steps toward them.

With permission, she consults with colleagues when a case needs extra perspective. Sessions are offered in English and take place remotely for clients in Arizona.

Online support

How her approaches work in online sessions

Existential therapy focuses on questions about meaning, purpose, and choice; it helps people who feel empty, stuck, or overwhelmed by life changes to name values and make intentional decisions. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, teaches skills to accept difficult feelings while committing to value-driven action, which can be helpful for anxiety, depression, and coping with loss. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, CBT, looks at how thoughts shape feelings and behaviors and uses practical exercises to shift unhelpful thinking patterns and try new actions.

Finding the right approach is a team effort. Dr. Carroll will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, then suggest techniques from these methods. Together they decide what to try and adjust the plan as needed based on what helps most.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to make therapy flexible. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone work can fit into a break or when bandwidth is limited, and chat or messaging supports shorter check-ins or ongoing reflections between sessions. These options let people keep therapy consistent while fitting it into busy schedules.
