Carole KaufmanLISW

Carole Kaufman, LISW, focuses on helping people navigate stress, anxiety, grief, and major life transitions. She is direct and warm in session, and she aims to create a calm space where people can talk through hard moments. Carole’s background includes work in inpatient geriatric and adult psychiatry and a long private practice career in Ohio.

She spent many years concentrating on maternal and child health and brings that perspective to concerns around parenting, fertility, and perinatal stress. Carole completed an intensive one-year post-graduate training in cognitive behavioral therapy, and she weaves practical, skills-based tools into conversations. Sessions often focus on problem-solving and small, doable changes that reduce overwhelm.

Carole also integrates client-centered and psychodynamic approaches to better understand how past relationships and patterns affect current reactions. Solution-focused techniques are used to set clear goals and track progress. Her combination of approaches supports people facing mood disorders, trauma, and complicated life transitions.

Her experience includes working with aging-related issues, caregiver stress, chronic illness, and family-of-origin concerns. She is familiar with the pressures of the sandwich generation and the emotional weight of caregiving. Carole brings two decades of clinical practice to each meeting and adapts methods to each person’s needs.

Carole is based in Ohio and works in English. Before scheduling, readers should confirm current session options and logistical details through the platform’s booking process.

How Carole’s Approaches Fit Online Therapy

Carole draws on cognitive behavioral therapy and client-centered methods to guide online work. CBT offers clear tools for managing anxiety, mood shifts, and stressful thoughts by identifying patterns and practicing new skills. Client-centered therapy emphasizes being listened to and understood, which helps people feel heard while they sort through parenting or grief concerns.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Carole will work with each person to decide which methods suit their goals and preferences. That might mean focusing on skill-building for immediate coping, or spending time on how past relationships shape current reactions.

Confirm current session options before booking so you know what formats are available. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when schedules require. They can also help people maintain continuity of care during life transitions. Talk with the therapist during scheduling to match session length and style to your needs.
