About Carla
Carla Harper is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Connecticut with nine years of experience. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, bipolar mood concerns, relationship strain, parenting challenges, and codependency. Sessions are conducted in English and she accepts international clients.
Carla describes her work as relationship-based. She focuses on building practical skills people can use day to day. She often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused methods to help people change unhelpful thinking and try small, realistic steps toward different outcomes.
Her background includes work with adolescents who experienced physical or sexual abuse and with people who have trauma, mood disorders, or autism spectrum concerns. That experience informs how she notices patterns in thinking and relating and how she plans gradual changes with clients.
In sessions she listens for how stress and caregiving demands affect choices. She helps people who struggle with people-pleasing, setting limits, or staying grounded around someone else’s moods or substance use. Practical tools, clear feedback, and short exercises are common parts of her approach.
Carla blends mindfulness practices to help people manage anxious moments and emotionally focused ideas when relationships are central to the concern. She also brings coaching-style planning for career or life transitions. To begin, she asks about current problems, goals, and what has or hasn’t worked so far.
If someone prefers English-language sessions with an LPC in Connecticut and wants to complete an initial matching questionnaire, scheduling a first session follows after that step. Costs vary by location and use a cancellable subscription model.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to what matters most to the client. In practice that means sessions aim to clarify goals, reflect what’s going on, and prioritize the person’s experience rather than impose a plan. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions. Online CBT sessions typically include short exercises, thought records, and small behavioral experiments to try between appointments. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) looks at how emotions shape relationships and personal reactions. When relationship patterns are the issue, EFT-style work helps people notice repeating interaction cycles and try different responses.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, past efforts, and preferences. Together they decide whether to emphasize CBT techniques, EFT ideas, mindfulness practices, or a mix that fits the person’s needs.
The original biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm which options are currently offered before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Those practical benefits help people keep therapy consistent while they work on setting boundaries, managing anxiety, or changing relationship habits.
