Dr. Carol Bunch , LCMHC, LPC

Dr. Carol Bunch brings a long-standing commitment to supporting individuals, couples, and families through difficult life transitions and painful experiences. She has maintained a private practice since September 1999 and developed specialized training in remote care, becoming a board certified Telemental Health counselor in 2014. Her work addresses a wide range of concerns including substance abuse, depression, anger, relationship struggles, sexual assault, domestic violence, PTSD, forgiveness, and career decision making. She also supports challenges related to grief, intimacy, self-esteem, and coping with major life changes.

Trained as a generalist with focused expertise in domestic violence, sexual assault, substance abuse, and career counseling, she blends practical strategies with emotionally attuned support. She holds LCMHC and LPC credentials, which means she is a licensed clinical mental health counselor and a licensed professional counselor. This combination of licensure and specialized telehealth training informs her approach to therapy offered both in person and online.

Grounded in a belief that healing and restored self-worth are possible, she views forgiveness and mending fractured relationships as central elements of recovery. Her practice emphasizes respect for each person s inherent value and a collaborative pathway toward rebuilding hope and functioning after loss, trauma, or life disruption.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Dr. Carol Bunch uses evidence-informed approaches adapted for online work to help clients navigate emotional pain, relationship conflicts, and trauma. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress and to build practical coping skills. Emotionally-Focused Therapy, or EFT, centers on improving emotional connection in relationships by helping people recognize and express core feelings, which is useful for couples and family concerns. Trauma-Focused Therapy addresses the impacts of traumatic events by creating safe ways to process memories and reactions and by teaching strategies to manage trauma-related symptoms.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and needs with each person to determine which methods fit best and will adjust the plan over time based on what is most helpful.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to engage through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These formats make it easier to schedule care around work, family, and daily life and to access therapists from home or other convenient locations. Licensed professionals can deliver many of the same therapeutic techniques remotely, supporting progress without requiring travel.
