About Carole
Carole Kaufman is an OH LISW with 20 years of experience. She works with adults coping with stress, anxiety, grief, depression, relationship and family concerns, eating and self-esteem problems, and issues such as bipolar disorder and compassion fatigue.
Carole previously worked in inpatient geriatric and adult psychiatry at the Cleveland Clinic and ran a private practice. She also focused on maternal and child health and completed a one-year post-graduate training in cognitive behavioral therapy. Her background includes work with people facing chronic illness, sudden health changes, and aging-related concerns.
In sessions she uses straightforward, practical methods. She draws on Client-Centered ideas to listen and build a working relationship. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques to identify unhelpful thinking and try small behavior changes. She also integrates psychodynamic and solution-focused elements when they fit the issue.
Carole often helps people managing caregiving stress, midlife transitions, and the strain of balancing work and family. She also addresses family-of-origin concerns, attachment and abandonment worries, and fertility or parenting stress.
Her approach is oriented toward clear goals and responses you can try between meetings. That may mean short skill-building exercises, looking at patterns from the past, or setting brief, practical steps to change life routines. The emphasis is on sensible steps to reduce the hold of guilt and shame and increase day-to-day coping.
Sessions are provided in English and follow the therapist's professional scope as an Ohio LISW. Prospective clients who want to begin are asked to use the platform's matching process to schedule a first session.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Carole uses Client-Centered Therapy to listen closely and create a trusting working relationship. That approach focuses on understanding your perspective and helping you reflect on what matters to you. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to spot unhelpful thoughts and try concrete behavior changes, which can be practiced between meetings to test what helps.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Carole will discuss goals, try methods, and adjust what she uses based on how you respond. She treats finding the best fit as a collaborative process rather than a one-size-fits-all plan.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm which online options are offered before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It can also make it simpler to use worksheets or behavior experiments between meetings. If you prefer a particular way of meeting, ask about available formats during the matching process.
