About Carol

Carol Queen is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in North Carolina with 5 years of professional experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, anger, and self-esteem. Carol helps people who feel overwhelmed by life changes, grief, or work and family strain.

She approaches conversations in a straightforward, person-focused way. Sessions are a chance to talk through feelings and reactions without judgment. Carol uses practical strategies from cognitive behavioral therapy to spot thought patterns that feed anger and anxiety.

She also draws on acceptance and commitment therapy to help people notice painful feelings without getting pushed into reactive behavior. Dialectical behavior therapy skills are used when people need concrete tools for emotion regulation and distress tolerance. Attachment-based ideas inform work on relationship patterns and communication problems.

Carol has experience in crisis intervention, substance abuse work, and intensive family interventions. That background informs short-term problem solving and safety-focused planning when stress or strong emotions spike. She has worked across adult and geriatric populations and has supported military-connected clients.

Her style is direct and supportive. Sessions focus on what people can do between meetings as well as in them. People leave with clear practiceable steps to manage anger and improve day-to-day functioning.

How sessions work

Therapeutic approaches used in remote sessions

Carol commonly integrates cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy in online work. CBT looks at how thoughts affect feelings and actions and teaches practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns. That approach helps with angry reactions, low mood, and work- or relationship-related stress.

DBT provides clear skills for managing intense emotions, tolerating distress, and improving interpersonal effectiveness. Those skills are useful when people need step-by-step practices to avoid snapping or to calm down after a confrontation. She also uses acceptance and commitment therapy ideas, which focus on noticing painful thoughts and choosing actions based on values rather than reactive impulses.

Finding the right mix of methods is part of the process. The therapist will work with each person to decide which approaches fit their goals, preferences, and practical needs. That collaboration includes checking what techniques feel helpful and adjusting plans over time.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day and to practice skills in real-world settings. For example, shorter check-ins can be scheduled during a break, or video sessions can support role-playing communication skills. Talk with the therapist during the first scheduling steps about which session format would suit daily life best.
