About Caroline
Dr. Bertolet listens for what matters now and helps clients set realistic next steps. Her style emphasizes present-moment awareness and practical solutions rather than lengthy analysis. She also supports people coping with transitions, grief, relationship concerns, and attention-related struggles like ADHD.
Her work blends person-centered listening with solution-focused techniques. That means she helps people notice what is working, name small changes, and try new behaviors between sessions. She pays attention to each person’s values and cultural background when planning those steps.
Sessions tend to be collaborative and goal-oriented. Dr. Bertolet encourages clear, manageable actions that build momentum. She also integrates coaching strategies for career questions and professional identity concerns, including impostor feelings and work-life balance.
People who want straightforward guidance, short-term goal planning, and tools to handle everyday stress may find her approach useful. She aims to support clients as they try small changes, track progress, and adjust plans as needed.

Step 3
How solution-focused work adapts to online sessions
Solution-Focused Therapy centers on identifying what a person wants to change and building small steps toward that outcome. It focuses on practical goals and on noticing what already helps, which can shorten the time needed to see forward movement. This approach is often used for issues like stress, work challenges, relationship concerns, and ADHD-related coping strategies.Person-centered elements in her work mean sessions begin with listening to each person’s experience and values. That helps shape which tools will be tried and what goals feel meaningful. Together the therapist and client decide which methods to try and how to measure progress, making the process collaborative and flexible.
If you are considering online therapy, confirm the exact session formats before booking since the biography does not list them. Many people choose remote sessions because they make it easier to fit counseling into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. Online work can also support steady follow-through on small goals between sessions. The therapist will help match the approach and session rhythm to your needs and daily life.
