About Carolyne
Carolyne Cole is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) practicing in Florida with eight years of clinical experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, depression, and life transitions. Carolyne also supports clients who are dealing with relationship strain, trauma and abuse, intimacy questions, parenting challenges, anger, and career concerns.
Clients can expect direct, practical conversations about what is causing distress now. Carolyne views each person as the expert on their own story and draws on clients' strengths to move forward. She uses clear, evidence-informed methods to address symptoms and patterns rather than vague language.
In session she often combines Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) to notice emotion and attachment patterns with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to change unhelpful thinking. Mindfulness techniques and Motivational Interviewing are used to build focus and sustain change. Narrative work helps people reframe difficult life chapters.
Carolyne pays attention to concerns that come with aging, blended family stress, caregiving strain, and end-of-life issues. She also addresses communication problems, divorce and separation, infidelity, and family of origin issues when these come up. Practical problem solving and clear next steps are part of her approach.
Sessions include straightforward goal setting and homework when useful. She encourages small, manageable changes between appointments and checks progress regularly. To begin, prospective clients complete an online matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How Carolyne uses EFT, CBT and mindfulness online
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) focuses on identifying and naming strong emotions and the patterns that keep people stuck. It is often used when attachment, closeness, or repeated emotional reactions are central to the problem. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behavior, and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful thinking and routines. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention practices to reduce reactivity, improve focus, and manage symptoms like anxiety or intrusive thoughts.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Carolyne will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit current goals and preferences. She explains options, tries techniques in session, and adjusts the plan based on what helps most.
