Using CBT, attachment work and mindfulness in online sessions
Dr. Carlini draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and shift the thoughts that feed anger and anxiety. CBT offers concrete exercises and experiments people can try between sessions to see what changes behavior and mood.Attachment-Based Therapy is used to look at how early relationship patterns influence current reactions. This approach helps people understand why certain interactions trigger intense feelings and how to practice different responses in relationships.
Mindfulness techniques are taught to slow down immediate reactions and increase awareness of bodily signs of rising anger. Simple breathing and attention practices make it easier to choose a next step instead of reacting automatically.
Choosing the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. The therapist and client review goals, try methods, and adjust what’s used based on what helps. Sessions are practical and goal-oriented, with regular check-ins on progress and clear homework when appropriate.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm the available online session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people apply skills between sessions in real-life settings and bring those experiences back to discuss with the therapist.
