About Carol

Carol Queen is a licensed clinical social worker who draws on practical, evidence-informed approaches to help families and individuals manage stress, relationship struggles, and parenting challenges. She uses clear, straightforward methods to reduce anxiety and improve communication. Carol keeps sessions relaxed and nonjudgmental so people can talk about what matters to them without feeling rushed.

Her background includes five years of professional practice in North Carolina as an LCSW - Licensed Clinical Social Worker.

Background and approach

She has worked in crisis intervention, substance abuse treatment, and intensive family interventions. That range of settings gave her experience with a wide variety of problems, from grief and trauma to sleep and eating difficulties. In sessions she combines Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, attachment-based ideas, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills.

That mix lets her offer practical tools for mood and behavior alongside attention to relationships and values. She focuses on helping clients notice patterns, try small changes, and build skills that fit everyday life. Carol emphasizes collaboration.

She listens first, then helps set goals that matter to each person or family. Therapy often includes skill practice, new ways to talk about problems, and steps to rebuild trust or routine. Parents and families find her approach direct and steady.

The work aims to reduce overwhelm, improve communication, and strengthen coping for common family strains like parenting, separation, or caregiving stress.

How therapy approaches translate to online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people clarify what matters to them and take small steps toward those values while learning to live with uncomfortable thoughts and feelings. It is useful for anxiety, stress, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on spotting unhelpful thinking and testing new behaviors to change mood and routine. It often helps with depression, anxiety, sleep, and problem behaviors. Finding the right approach is part of the work. Carol will collaborate with each person or family to choose methods that fit their goals, needs, and daily life. She starts by listening, then suggests strategies and checks in to see what is helpful. Online sessions make it easier to fit therapy into busy family schedules. Video calls let you meet face-to-face from home, phone sessions work when video is not possible, and live chat or text messaging provide shorter check-ins or support between sessions. These options offer flexibility for parents and caregivers while keeping the focus on practical skills, improved communication, and steady progress.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

Less about arguing with difficult thoughts, more about loosening their grip and acting on what matters to you anyway. Values and committed action carry the work, which suits conversation at a distance.

Attachment-Based Therapy

Looks at how early bonds shaped what you expect from closeness, and how that plays out now with a partner, a parent, or your own children.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.
