About Jeralyn

Dr. Jeralyn Carter is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Hawaii with 18 years of experience. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, anger, depression, relationship and parenting concerns, and other challenges listed in her practice focus.

She uses plain, practical methods in sessions. Dr. Carter combines evidence-based therapies with mindfulness and depth-oriented work. Sessions center on setting clear, realistic goals and tracking small changes in thoughts, feelings, and behavior.

People come for help managing snapping at loved ones, workplace frustration, built-up resentment, or another person’s anger at home. Dr. Carter offers tools for emotion regulation, clearer communication, and everyday coping strategies that can be practiced between sessions.

Her training includes cognitive behavioral work, dialectical behavior techniques, acceptance and commitment ideas, and Jungian-influenced depth work. She describes her role as collaborative - helping clients notice patterns, try new responses, and measure progress over time.

Dr. Carter also brings experience with trauma, grief, addictions, ADHD, bipolar mood concerns, and a range of attachment and identity issues. People who want practical steps and reflective insight tend to find this approach useful.

How sessions work

How her approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing difficult thoughts and feelings while choosing actions that match your values. It can help with anger patterns that come from avoidance or fusion with upsetting thoughts. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. CBT provides practical steps to test unhelpful beliefs and change reactions, which can reduce reactive anger.

Finding the right mix of methods is part of the process. She will work with each person to decide which approaches match their goals and preferences, and adjust the plan as progress is tracked together.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm available online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. It also supports practicing skills in the settings where anger often arises, so tools learned in sessions can be tried right away in everyday life.
