More about Carol
- 27 years' experience
- Female
- LMFT
I am licensed in California with 27 years of professional work experience. I enjoy counseling all ages with a wide variety of issues. Working with couples and others who are struggling in their relationships or lacking in motivation, confidence or self-esteem are also areas that I enjoy. My special area of expertise is grief and loss. This, after spending 20 years directing a bereavement program following the death of my young husband. I am also an Art therapist that enriches my work with those who are interested.
Your own story has gifted you with many strengths that will assist you in overcoming things that challenge you. Taking the first step to sign up for therapy can take courage and I am proud of you for getting started!

About online counseling

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
