About Carol

Carol Harris is a licensed clinical social worker with 25 years of experience helping people navigate difficult life moments. She works with adults facing depression, anxiety, grief, addiction, and relationship or parenting strain. Her approach aims to make conversations straightforward and useful for daily life.

She brings long experience supporting people across generations, including those managing aging concerns or medical conditions. Carol focuses on clear goals and small steps that add up over time. Sessions tend to be practical and grounded in what a person can try between meetings.

Carol uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking and change behaviors that get in the way. She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy to address values, emotional patterns, and close relationships. Mindfulness and client-centered skills shape how she listens and responds.

Clients can expect a calm, patient presence and straightforward guidance. Carol emphasizes collaboration and practical strategies rather than technical labels. She helps people sort priorities and try new ways of coping.

Her work often addresses parenting challenges, career stress, body image concerns, trauma and abuse aftermath, and issues linked to aging or chronic illness. Carol also supports people facing addiction, bipolar mood concerns, and intimacy or communication struggles. Her goal is to help each person find steps that fit their life.

How Carol’s Approaches Work Online

Carol uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot patterns of thinking and behavior that cause distress, then practices small changes to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy is also part of her work - it supports identifying personal values and taking committed action even when feelings are difficult.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Carol will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as progress unfolds.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy fit into busy lives. Video is useful for deeper conversations and visual cues, phone works well when bandwidth is limited, and brief check-ins suit live chat or text. These options give flexibility to schedule sessions during work breaks, travel, or when a shorter check-in is all that’s needed.
