Carol Fritzsche, LPC

Carol Fritzsche is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 11 years of experience as a mental health therapist. She helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, parenting pressures, relationship and family tensions, grief, low self-esteem, and challenges such as ADHD and bipolar concerns.

Carol draws on several practical therapy styles to match what each person needs. She blends client-centered work with cognitive behavioral strategies and mindfulness to address thinking patterns and everyday habits. She also uses psychodynamic ideas to look at long-standing patterns and solution-focused tools to set short-term goals.

Her background includes many years supporting people with chronic illness, caregiver stress, aging-related issues, Asperger syndrome, and codependency or domestic violence histories. That experience informs how she notices both practical problems and emotional patterns during sessions.

Sessions focus on clear, doable steps and on listening closely to what matters to the client. Carol encourages honest, collaborative work where the client helps guide goals and pacing. She aims to help people build coping skills, improve communication, and find small changes that add up.

People who choose Carol can expect direct conversation, practical homework when it helps, and careful attention to safety and triggers around trauma. She invites people to start with a short matching questionnaire and schedule a time that fits their calendar.

Approaches that translate well to online work

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and reflecting so the client feels heard and understood; online sessions allow that same collaborative dialogue and gentle pacing. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) helps people notice thoughts and try small behavior experiments, which works well over video or phone because homework and thought records can be reviewed between sessions. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce stress, and those skills can be practiced during or between online appointments.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will ask about a person's goals, daily routines, and what feels most achievable, then suggest ways of working and adjust them over time. The process is collaborative and paced to the client's needs.

The profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm current online options before booking. In general, online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, shorten commuting time, and allow check-ins during lunch breaks or between appointments. It can also suit people who prefer not to be on camera by using audio-only sessions when available. Ask about recommended session length and tools so arrangements match daily life and clinical goals.
