Carol Weihe

Carol Weihe is a Licensed Clinical Marriage and Family Therapist (LCMFT) practicing in Kansas. She brings 24 years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, trauma, and major life transitions. Carol speaks English and accepts international clients.

Her approach blends practical psychotherapy with a thoughtful, person-centered stance. She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people notice unhelpful patterns and try new behaviors. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) and client-centered methods guide conversations about connection, feelings, and communication.

Carol has worked in a range of settings, including private practice, community mental health, managed care, and the Department of Veterans Affairs. That range informs how she tailors sessions to everyday life, medical issues such as cancer and terminal health concerns, and aging or geriatric needs.

She aims for sessions that are supportive, compassionate, and when needed, gently challenging. Clients can expect direct listening, practical exercises, and tools to manage symptoms like panic, low mood, or relationship conflict. Carol also addresses complex trauma, dissociation, and issues like codependency or control struggles.

People reach out with concerns about divorce and separation, family of origin problems, grief around hospice and end-of-life situations, guilt and shame, or trouble communicating. The first step is a short intake to clarify goals and plan the next steps together.

How Carol's Approaches Work Online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, encourages people to notice their thoughts and values and then act in ways that matter to them. It can help with anxiety, avoidance, and making difficult choices during life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with small behavioral experiments to reduce symptoms like panic or low mood. Emotionally-Focused Therapy, EFT, centers on understanding and shifting emotional responses in close relationships to improve communication and connection.

Choosing an approach is collaborative. Carol will talk with each person about their goals, experiences, and preferences and then suggest a blend of methods that fits the situation. Together they track progress and adjust methods as needed rather than committing to one single technique from the start.

If you are considering online work, confirm the current session options before booking so you know what formats are supported. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, reduce travel time, and allow check-ins during work breaks or between appointments. They also let people continue care while managing medical concerns such as cancer, terminal health issues, or aging-related needs. Ask about practical details when you schedule so sessions fit your routine and goals.
