About Carole

Carole Calvert-Baxter is a licensed professional counselor in Michigan who helps people manage stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, depression, and life coaching needs. She draws on 17 years of counseling work and prior experience as a health care executive to offer steady, practical support. Carole speaks English and uses a warm, conversational style to help people feel heard and understood.

Her approach is straightforward and person-centered. Sessions focus on what matters to each individual and on small, doable steps toward change.

Background and approach

Carole combines Client-Centered Therapy with elements of cognitive behavioral work to help people notice unhelpful patterns and try new ways of coping. She also uses principles from the Gottman Method to improve communication and reduce repeated conflicts when that is relevant to someone’s goals. Carole aims to keep sessions focused and practical, with clear takeaways people can use between meetings.

Carole has experience supporting people dealing with aging and geriatric issues, caregiving and hospice-related concerns, family of origin and family problems, codependency, commitment and communication difficulties, and somatization. She is familiar with domestic violence and dependent personality concerns and can help people explore safer options and resources. Therapy is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging.

Sessions use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time, and costs vary with location and therapist scheduling.

Online support

Approaches that guide online sessions

Carole uses Client-Centered Therapy to create a respectful, nonjudgmental space where clients can talk and shape their own goals. This approach emphasizes listening and helping people build on their strengths to find next steps.

She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients identify unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and practice concrete skills for managing mood and anxiety. CBT can be useful for stress, depression, and worry when people want tools they can use between sessions.

When communication problems are a focus, Carole brings in concepts from the Gottman Method to reduce repeating conflicts and build clearer interaction habits. These ideas are used as practical exercises rather than theoretical instruction.

Selecting the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and how they respond to early interventions. Together they adjust methods and pacing so the work fits the client's life and priorities.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video lets people work face-to-face when audio and visual feedback matter. Phone sessions can be a good fit when bandwidth is limited or a quieter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging offer brief, flexible ways to stay connected between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and continue work from different locations.
