About Jeralyn
Dr. Jeralyn Carter is an LMHC - Licensed Mental Health Counselor - practicing in Hawaii with 18 years of experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, and family of origin issues, among other struggles. Sessions are conversational and goal-focused, aimed at making changes that feel practical and manageable.
She draws on several well-established methods, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Client-Centered approaches, and Jungian ideas. In practice she mixes structured skill work with reflective, depth-oriented talk. That means clients can expect both concrete tools and time to examine recurring patterns that come from childhood and family dynamics.
Dr. Carter emphasizes collaboration. She helps people set clear, realistic goals and checks progress over time. Sessions often include learning new coping skills, testing small behavioral changes, and talking through long-standing roles or expectations learned in the family of origin.
Her background includes long-term clinical counseling and international life coaching experience. She has supported people through grief, trauma-related concerns, mood difficulties, addiction-related struggles, identity and intimacy questions, and caregiving stress. She also addresses issues like body image, ADHD-related problems, and blended family concerns.
Sessions are conducted in English. International clients are accepted. Prospective clients are asked to use the platform flow to complete a brief matching questionnaire and schedule a first appointment so Dr. Carter can recommend an approach that fits the person’s situation.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people clarify their values and take committed action even when difficult thoughts or feelings are present. It is often used for anxiety, stress, and patterns that trace back to family expectations.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. Online CBT sessions typically include practice of specific skills and simple behavioral experiments to change unhelpful patterns.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers concrete skills for emotion regulation and distress tolerance. It can be useful when strong emotions or relationship patterns feel overwhelming and clients want practical strategies.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. She will collaborate with each person to decide which methods match their goals, needs, and preferences. That means the first conversations often focus on what to try first and how progress will be checked.
