About Jeralyn

Dr. Jeralyn Carter welcomes adults seeking practical strategies and heartfelt support for challenges like stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship concerns, ADHD, and a broad range of life transitions.

Background and approach

With 18 years of experience as a licensed mental health counselor (HI LMHC MHC-298), she combines respectful curiosity and steady guidance to help clients set realistic goals and notice gradual changes in thinking, feeling, and behavior. Her work blends evidence-based therapies with depth-oriented and mindfulness-infused practices.

Dr. Carter draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and Jungian ideas to tailor interventions to each person’s needs.

She describes her style as collaborative and strengths-focused, tracking progress alongside clients while honoring their stories and values. Based in Hawaii, Dr.

Carter has experience with concerns ranging from grief, addictions, and parenting challenges to intimacy, career shifts, and compassion fatigue. She also addresses less commonly discussed topics such as adoption and foster care, aging issues, attachment concerns, and various personality and neurodiversity-related matters.

Her approach is warm, nonjudgmental, and aimed at fostering clarity, resilience, and practical coping skills.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Accessibility

Dr. Carter frequently works with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, using each to help clients notice unhelpful thinking patterns and develop practical skills. CBT focuses on identifying and changing thoughts and behaviors that maintain distress, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, and many day-to-day challenges. ACT emphasizes values-based action and mindfulness, helping people develop psychological flexibility and move toward what matters despite difficult thoughts or feelings.

Finding the right approach is treated as a collaborative process. She will work with clients to explore which methods align with their goals, preferences, and the specific concerns they bring, adjusting strategies over time as progress and needs evolve.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to provide flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it easier to fit regular sessions into busy lives and to maintain continuity of care when travel or relocation occurs. Licensed professionals can use these tools to deliver structured interventions, check-ins, skill coaching, and reflective conversation tailored to each client's situation.
