About Carole
Carole Cassidy is a California Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) with 12 years of professional experience. She works with adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship struggles, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, and depression. Carole also focuses on issues such as abandonment, attachment difficulties, communication problems, divorce and separation, forgiveness, loneliness, life purpose, post-traumatic stress, and building self-love.
Carole treats sessions as a practical conversation about what is happening now and what a person wants next. She begins by listening to the facts of a person's situation and the goals they have. From there she helps people name the patterns that get in the way and try different ways of responding that feel manageable.
Many people come with uncertainty about work, relationships, or identity after a big change. Carole helps them sort through confusing feelings and priorities so they can make clearer decisions. She emphasizes small, concrete steps rather than broad promises about outcomes.
Her style is grounded and straightforward. Sessions focus on problem-solving, improving communication, and rebuilding confidence after difficult experiences. When trauma or past hurts are part of the picture, she combines attention to safety with paced work on painful memories.

Approaches used and how online sessions fit into the work
Carole uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on how people think, feel, and relate. One common approach helps people notice and change patterns of thought and behavior that maintain anxiety and low mood, offering clear, step-by-step strategies to try between sessions. Another approach addresses attachment and relationship patterns by looking at how early connection styles shape adult relationships and teaching new ways to communicate and repair conflict.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Carole treats therapy as a collaborative process and will discuss options based on a person's concerns, goals, and preferences. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust them if something is not working.
If you are considering online sessions, confirm the current session formats before booking so you know what is offered. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into daily life - for example, it may be simpler to schedule a shorter check-in during a lunch break or join a session without traveling across town. It can also allow for video or phone conversations when focusing on practical skills, communication practice, or paced work on past hurts. Ask about available formats when you complete the matching questionnaire so your sessions match your needs.
