About Caroline

Dr. Caroline Bertolet is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who brings six years of clinical experience to clients in Virginia and to international individuals who seek remote support.

Background and approach

She has worked with a broad range of concerns including depression, anxiety, stress, relationship and intimacy-related issues, career challenges, grief, trauma and abuse, compassion fatigue, and ADHD. Her background also includes work with people navigating transitions, parenting and caregiving stress, and complex topics such as adoption and foster care, end-of-life issues, and alternative sexual cultures.

Her practice emphasizes present-moment awareness and practical steps toward change. Dr.

Bertolet blends solution-focused strategies with person-centered and gestalt-informed perspectives to help clients build insight, identify concrete goals, and increase daily satisfaction. She values a collaborative therapeutic relationship that honors each person’s views and cultural context, and she incorporates life coaching elements when appropriate to support career concerns and high-performance demands.

Prospective clients can expect a supportive, goal-oriented approach aimed at making real-world improvements in functioning and wellbeing.

Solution-Focused Methods and Online Access

Dr. Caroline Bertolet uses solution-focused therapy as a primary framework, concentrating on clients' strengths and practical steps to move toward tangible goals; this approach is useful for concerns like career challenges, stress management, and coping with life changes. She also integrates person-centered and gestalt-informed ideas when helpful, emphasizing present-moment awareness, the therapeutic relationship, and increasing self-understanding to support emotional and interpersonal work.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is treated as a collaborative process. The therapist works with each person to clarify needs, preferences, and goals, and together they determine which techniques and pace best fit the situation. That collaborative stance helps tailor sessions so they feel relevant and manageable from the start.

Online therapy is offered through multiple formats including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, giving flexibility for busy schedules and differing comfort levels with technology. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care during life transitions, travel, or when in-person options are limited, while allowing therapists and clients to focus on practical strategies and measurable progress.
