About Carol

Carol Queen is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in North Carolina with five years of professional experience. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, self-esteem concerns, and parenting challenges. Carol also addresses issues like grief, trauma, addiction, and anger in her work.

She uses a blend of practical, evidence-informed approaches. Sessions focus on clear goals and everyday skills clients can try between meetings. Conversations are direct and aimed at helping a person notice patterns, try different coping strategies, and make manageable changes over time.

Carol draws on methods such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy. She uses attachment-based ideas and client-centered listening to help people untangle relationship patterns and find steadier ways of relating. This mix supports work on communication, intimacy-related concerns, and parenting stress.

Her background includes crisis intervention and substance use work, plus experience with military-connected families. That experience shows up in practical strategies for managing overwhelm, navigating life changes, and coping with complex stressors. She also has experience across the lifespan in adult and geriatric settings.

Sessions are conducted in English and follow a straightforward process: name current problems, test a few approaches, and adjust based on what helps. Carol asks people to try small, concrete steps and reviews progress together. If you want to begin, follow the site's steps to match and schedule a first session.

How sessions work

How Carol’s approaches translate to online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and then commit to actions that fit their values. It can help with anxiety, life changes, and persistent low mood. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with practical behavioral changes, which can reduce anxiety and depression symptoms. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches concrete skills for managing intense emotions and improving distress tolerance and interpersonal effectiveness.

Finding the right mix of techniques is part of the work. Carol will collaborate with each person to decide which approaches fit their situation and goals. She reviews how techniques are working and adjusts them based on what the person needs and prefers.

Confirm session formats before booking because the biography does not list specific delivery methods. Many people find online sessions easier to fit into a busy day, for example scheduling a shorter check-in during a lunch break or choosing a phone call when bandwidth is limited. Online work can make it simpler to practice skills between sessions and to bring real-life examples from home into conversation. Licensed professionals adapt exercises and homework so that progress can continue between meetings.
