About Carol
Carol Queen is a licensed clinical social worker practicing in North Carolina. She brings five years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, and parenting concerns. Carol aims to make the first step easier by offering a calm, nonjudgmental space to talk about what feels hard right now.
She uses clear, practical methods in sessions. That can mean learning skills to manage strong emotions, trying new ways of thinking about problems, or noticing values that guide choices.
Background and approach
Conversations are straightforward and focused on what the client wants to change or improve. Her background includes work in crisis intervention, substance abuse treatment, and intensive family interventions. That experience shaped a style that balances skill teaching with emotional support.
She also has experience supporting adults across the lifespan, including older adults and those affected by medical or caregiving stress. Carol draws from several approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy to match the needs of each person. She emphasizes building a strong working relationship and helping people try practical steps between sessions.
Clients can expect collaborative goal-setting and concrete tools to practice. Carol pays attention to factors like grief, trauma, caregiving strain, and life transitions when planning care. The aim is steady progress toward clearer thinking and calmer responses to daily challenges.

Therapeutic approaches you can use online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying what matters to a person and taking small actions toward those values. It helps when someone feels stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure about what matters most. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behavior and teaches skills to change unhelpful patterns. CBT can be useful for anxiety, low mood, sleep problems, and many everyday struggles.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Carol will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That means discussing options, trying techniques in session, and adjusting based on what helps most over time.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when a fuller interaction is helpful. Phone sessions can work well when bandwidth or camera use is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for brief check-ins, quick tools between sessions, or when writing out thoughts feels easier. These options help people fit therapy into busy schedules and different daily routines.
