About Carleen
She draws on six years as an LSCSW in Kansas and additional professional experience in mental health crisis work.

In sessions she uses straightforward, collaborative methods. People can expect conversations that focus on goals, problem-solving, and building small, doable strategies for daily life. Carleen often blends client-centered listening with techniques that shift unhelpful thoughts and habits.
Her practice also addresses concerns that arise with aging, caregiving, blended-family dynamics, and end-of-life matters including hospice and end-of-life counseling. She is attentive to multicultural concerns, immigration-related stress, and issues facing veterans and first responders.
Carleen values working alongside people to help them move toward greater self-compassion and clearer direction. She encourages practical steps and honest dialogue so clients can make changes that feel manageable and relevant to their lives.

How therapeutic approaches guide online support
Carleen often uses client-centered therapy, which centers conversations on the person’s own goals and lived experience. That approach helps people feel heard and lets sessions move at a pace that fits their needs. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, is another common method she uses to identify unhelpful thinking and build alternative ways of responding to stress and low mood.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Then she adapts methods so sessions focus on practical steps and measurable progress in areas like anxiety, grief, or coping with life changes.
Confirm the current session options before booking so you know which meeting formats are available. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy day, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when a full hour is unnecessary. It can also make regular work on coping skills and grief more practical for people who live far from services or have caregiving responsibilities.
