About Carol

Carol Queen is a licensed clinical social worker in North Carolina. She uses practical, evidence-informed approaches to help people manage anger, anxiety, and everyday stress. She speaks plainly and aims to make the first steps feel doable for someone who is worried or overwhelmed.

She focuses on building a trusting, nonjudgmental space where clients can talk about feelings and reactions. Sessions are collaborative - she listens, helps clarify what matters most, and works with each person to set clear goals.

Background and approach

Carol blends skills-based strategies with attention to underlying patterns that keep problems repeating. Her work includes helping people with relationship strain, low self-esteem, depression, and major life transitions. She also supports people facing trauma, grief, addiction, sleep or eating concerns, and challenges related to caregiving or chronic illness.

Anger is a specific concern she addresses alongside coping skills and emotion regulation techniques. Carol has five years of professional experience as an LCSW and draws from several clinical approaches. She uses cognitive behavioral tools to change unhelpful thoughts and actions, acceptance-based methods to reduce struggle with difficult feelings, and client-centered ways of meeting people where they are.

She also incorporates attachment-informed ideas about how past relationships shape present reactions. People who choose her work together on small, practical steps that fit daily life. That may include skill practice between sessions, problem-solving, and checking which strategies actually help.

The aim is clearer thinking, steadier emotions, and more effective ways to handle stressful situations.

Therapeutic approaches and online care that fit your life

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without being driven by them. It emphasizes values and small committed actions that move daily life in a meaningful direction, which can be useful for anger, anxiety, and life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce distress and improve functioning; it is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress-related problems. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how past relationships shape current patterns and helps people repair connection and reduce reactivity in close relationships.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Carol will collaborate with each person to identify goals, try methods that fit their needs, and adjust strategies based on what helps. That collaborative process makes it easier to find practical tools that actually fit daily routines and priorities.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction and skill practice, phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited, live chat supports shorter check-ins, and text messaging helps keep momentum between appointments. These options make it easier to schedule therapy around work, caregiving, or other demands.
