About Caroline
Caroline Murray is a licensed clinician who works with people facing stress, anxiety, anger, and self-esteem struggles. She is an LCMHC in North Carolina with 20 years of experience. Caroline offers a straightforward, compassionate way of working that focuses on practical steps and real-life problems.
She creates a calm space where people can talk through what is happening in their day-to-day life. Topics commonly explored include work pressure, relationship patterns, career concerns, and coping with life changes.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on skills that can be used between meetings, not just talk during them. Caroline blends several approaches to meet each person’s needs. She uses strategies from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and mindfulness to help people notice patterns and try new responses.
The work is goal oriented and grounded in everyday routines. Over two decades in practice have given her experience with several additional challenges. These include caregiver stress, chronic illness and pain, addiction concerns, codependency, and issues around forgiveness, guilt, and shame.
She also supports people managing divorce or separation and those coping with grief after disasters. Her style is warm and nonjudgmental. Caroline listens first, then helps create a plan that fits the person’s life.
People who want clear tools and steady support often find this approach useful.

Therapeutic approaches and online support
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters most and take small, values-driven steps even when feelings are strong. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on noticing unhelpful thoughts and trying new behaviors to change how feelings and situations play out. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers concrete skills for managing intense emotions, improving distress tolerance, and strengthening interpersonal effectiveness.Finding the right fit is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to choose which approaches to try based on goals, daily demands, and what feels workable. Adjustments are made as needed so the approach stays practical and relevant to real life.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow a face-to-face feel for skill demonstrations and deeper conversation. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging make it possible to get brief support between sessions or to follow up on techniques in writing. Together these formats provide flexibility for people balancing work, caregiving, or health concerns while working on stress, anger, and life changes.
