About Carol
Dr. Carol Bunch brings 25 years of clinical experience to her practice in North Carolina. She is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) and a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC).
Dr. Bunch focuses on helping people facing stress, anxiety, addiction, depression, anger, grief, and relationship strains. She offers straightforward, faith-informed support while keeping conversations practical and focused.
Sessions aim to identify what people are struggling with now and build steps they can use between meetings.
Background and approach
Her background includes work with trauma, domestic violence, sexual assault, and substance use concerns. Dr. Bunch uses several approaches to guide treatment, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to address unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, Emotionally-Focused Therapy to look at relationship patterns, and Motivational Interviewing to build readiness for change.
She also draws on trauma-focused methods when past events are affecting present functioning. People who choose her often want clear strategies for coping, help with anger or addiction, or support navigating major life changes like separation or loss. Her style is direct but compassionate, encouraging practical steps and self-reflection.
She provides online care through video, phone, live chat, and text-based messaging. Sessions are scheduled through a subscription model that can be canceled at any time, and fees vary based on location and therapist availability.

How therapy approaches work online
Dr. Bunch commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Emotionally-Focused Therapy as part of her online work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and teaching practical tools to change them, which helps with anxiety, depression, and anger. Emotionally-Focused Therapy looks at how people relate and respond to each other, helping to shift interaction patterns and improve closeness in relationships.She also uses Motivational Interviewing to help people find their own reasons for change and build momentum toward healthier habits. Choosing an approach is collaborative - the therapist and client discuss goals, preferences, and what feels most useful, then try strategies and adjust as needed.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone calls can work well with limited bandwidth, live chat supports shorter check-ins, and text messaging allows ongoing, flexible contact between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and keep consistent momentum toward goals.
