About Carol
Carol Queen is a licensed clinical social worker who focuses on practical strategies to reduce stress and anxiety. She uses clear, down-to-earth language and helps people facing mood shifts, relationship strain, and life changes.

Background and approach
Carol has worked with a range of adults across the lifespan and has experience supporting caregivers and people facing chronic health challenges. In sessions she leans on cognitive behavioral tools to spot unhelpful thinking. She also uses acceptance and commitment ideas to clarify values and build committed action.
Dialectical behavior skills are used to manage strong emotions and improve coping in overwhelming moments. Carol aims to create a calm, nonjudgmental space where feelings can be named and plans can be made. She listens closely and helps people pick concrete next steps that fit their daily lives.
Her goal is to help clients develop skills that reduce distress and improve relationships. People who connect with her often want straightforward techniques and steady encouragement. She supports people working through grief, trauma, addiction concerns, parenting stress, and body image or identity questions.
Carol practices in North Carolina and conducts sessions in English. To begin, she invites a short conversation and a focused plan for therapy goals. That first step is framed as a practical move toward feeling better and regaining a sense of control.
How evidence-informed approaches translate to online care
Carol uses cognitive behavioral therapy to identify patterns of thinking and change unhelpful habits. CBT is practical and often focuses on skills for managing anxiety, mood, and day-to-day stress. She also draws on dialectical behavior therapy skills to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness for intense moments.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Carol will work with each person to review goals, try techniques, and choose what fits best. Together they adjust tools and pacing so therapy matches needs and preferences over time.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different schedules. Video calls let people use visual cues and do deeper skills practice, while phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier during busy days. Live chat and text allow brief check-ins, fast skill reminders, or ongoing support between longer sessions. These options make it easier to balance therapy with work, family, and other daily demands.
