About Carol
Carol Williams is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 20 years of experience. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, anger, depression, grief, relationship and intimacy concerns, and struggles with self-esteem. Carol uses plain language and a calm manner to help people figure out what they want to change and how to begin.
She centers her work on listening first, then collaborating on small, doable steps. Sessions often include mindfulness exercises to reduce stress and practical tools from cognitive behavioral approaches.
Background and approach
The aim is to limit overwhelm and create steady progress toward daily improvements. Over two decades she has worked mainly with individuals navigating life transitions, caregiving strain, eating and body image issues, and trauma-related concerns. That experience guides a patient, steady style that values each person’s pace and priorities.
Carol draws on her own life changes to relate to clients without assuming outcomes. In sessions she blends client-centered conversation with structured techniques. This can mean talking through what matters most, then testing a short behavioral change between meetings.
She also uses skills from dialectical behavior therapy when strong emotions need clear strategies. Carol helps people who feel stuck find clearer directions and renewed interest in life. She supports work on forgiveness, guilt and shame, family of origin issues, and purpose.
Her approach aims to make change feel manageable and realistic.

Approaches that guide online sessions
Carol uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy as core approaches in her online work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying values and taking steps toward them even when difficult thoughts or feelings are present; it can help with anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts influence actions and mood and teaches practical skills to test new ways of thinking and behaving to reduce symptoms.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to identify goals and preferences, then try strategies that fit those goals. Carol often combines conversational, client-centered listening with ACT or CBT techniques so the plan matches the person rather than forcing one method.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls are useful for face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can fit a tight schedule or lower bandwidth situations, and live chat or messaging works for short check-ins, skill coaching, or when writing feels easier than speaking. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, caregiving, or other commitments.
