About Carla

Carla Fort is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in California. She brings 14 years of experience and a warm, energetic approach to therapy. Carla focuses on helping people take small, steady steps forward when life feels overwhelming.

She works with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma and abuse, anger, addictions, and bipolar concerns. She also supports people dealing with relationship issues, family stress, intimacy-related matters, parenting strain, and career uncertainty.

Background and approach

Additional focuses include abandonment, codependency, communication problems, control issues, guilt and shame, life purpose, self-love, and social anxiety and phobia. Carla uses a mix of approaches to fit each person’s needs. She practices Existential Therapy to look at life meaning and choices.

She draws on Client-Centered Therapy to prioritize listening and the client’s own goals. She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Narrative and Psychodynamic ideas when they help move work forward. Her style is upbeat, compassionate, and encouraging.

She often points out small gains and celebrates progress, and she uses humor when it helps people relax and engage. Sessions are geared toward practical changes and clearer direction rather than abstract analysis. People who want a therapist who combines warmth with practical work may find her helpful.

Carla aims to be a collaborative guide, helping clients notice strengths and try manageable steps toward their goals.

Online support

How Carla’s Approaches Translate to Online Work

Existential Therapy looks at life choices, meaning, and responsibility. In online sessions this can help when people feel stuck about purpose, career direction, or major life decisions. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and empathy, giving clients space to set the agenda and move at their own pace. It supports building trust and self-directed change over video or phone. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on practical techniques to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and can be used to manage anxiety, depression, and certain patterns like avoidance or rumination.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods make sense based on needs, goals, and preferences. Sessions can shift approach as progress is made and new concerns arise.

Online therapy offers flexibility and convenience through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when that is helpful, while phone sessions can be a simpler option when bandwidth or camera use is an issue. Live chat and text messaging are useful for quick check-ins, shorter reflections, or when someone prefers written communication. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to continue work between in-person commitments.
