About Carole
Carole Whitty is a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) in California who focuses on building self esteem and managing stress and anxiety. She frames sessions around the person's strengths and goals. Her style is encouraging and practical for people beginning therapy for the first time.
Carole works in short, clear conversations that help people notice what already works for them. She helps people with family conflict, anger, motivation, and confidence. She also supports those facing life changes and workplace stress.
Her background includes six years of clinical practice in California as an LMFT. That experience informs a straightforward approach to common struggles like mood shifts, caregiver stress, and relationship communication problems. Carole draws on several therapy methods to shape sessions around each person’s needs.
In sessions she uses client-centered listening to follow the person’s lead and cognitive behavioral tools to adjust unhelpful thoughts and actions. She also uses strategies from dialectical behavior therapy and solution-focused work to teach coping skills and identify small, achievable steps forward.
Carole aims to make the process feel manageable. She encourages people to bring specific goals to sessions, whether that means reducing anxiety, rebuilding self esteem, or getting through a difficult life transition. The focus is on practical change one step at a time.
