About Carol
Carol Metcalfe is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas who helps people facing stress, anger, anxiety, grief, and relationship strains. She brings 24 years of counseling experience to conversations that often feel hard to start. Carol aims to make the first step feel manageable and straightforward.
She creates a calm, respectful space where clients can say what they mean and be heard without judgment. Sessions focus on honest talk and practical steps people can use between appointments.
Background and approach
Carol listens for what matters most and helps set small, realistic goals to move forward. Her work draws on client-centered methods that prioritize the person's perspective, cognitive behavioral tools to spot and change unhelpful thinking, and solution-focused ideas to build on what already works. She uses those approaches to address issues like parenting stress, family conflict, loss and life changes.
Carol also supports those working through career strain, caregiving burden, or recovery from trauma and addiction. Conversations cover everyday challenges as well as deeper wounds such as guilt, shame, and grief. Many clients come with questions about midlife transitions, finding purpose, or improving self-worth.
Carol practices with warmth, respect, and steady guidance to help people strengthen coping skills and make meaningful change. She invites anyone ready to try counseling to begin with a brief matching questionnaire and schedule a session. Appointments are offered through several online formats so clients can pick what fits their day and needs.

Approaches and online care that fit your life
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person's point of view. It helps people feel heard and build confidence to make changes at their own pace.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It teaches practical skills to challenge unhelpful thinking and try new behaviors for anxiety, anger, or depression.
Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on what is already working and on setting small, reachable goals. It is useful when people want quick, concrete changes in daily routines or family interactions.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences and then pick or combine methods that seem most helpful. That decision is made together so the plan matches what the person hopes to change.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions work when bandwidth is limited, live chat can be used for shorter check-ins, and text-based messaging supports ongoing reflection between visits. These options make it easier to fit counseling into a busy life and to continue work between sessions.
