About Carole

Carole Boes is a Pennsylvania Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 35 years of experience. She works with adults who want clearer ways to handle anger, relationship stress, grief, trauma, mood shifts, and workplace pressure. Carole helps people who feel stuck after big life changes or who want better tools for day-to-day coping.

She uses straightforward conversation to identify what is making anger or resentment build up. Sessions often focus on practical steps to reduce reactivity, improve communication, and manage stress. Carole also helps people process grief and trauma at a pace they can handle.

Her approach draws on Client-Centered Therapy to keep the work focused on the person’s goals. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) for skills that change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. Motivational Interviewing and Solution-Focused Therapy appear when people want to set clear, achievable goals fast.

Carole has long experience supporting survivors of sexual assault and people dealing with postpartum stress, mood disorders, and first responder issues. She also addresses blended family challenges, caregiving strain, codependency, and workplace concerns. These are handled in practical steps rather than abstract theory.

People who turn to her usually want clear tools they can try between sessions. She describes therapy as collaborative work - noticing patterns, testing new responses, and building steadier ways to manage anger and stress. Her style is calm, direct, and results-oriented without hype.

How sessions work

Therapeutic approaches and how online sessions work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person’s goals and perspectives. It involves listening closely and shaping sessions around what the client wants to address, which helps people clarify what they want to change and why.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, teaches practical skills to notice and change thought patterns and behaviors that fuel anger and anxiety. It is useful for managing reactivity, improving mood, and handling workplace stress.

Motivational Interviewing helps when someone feels stuck about making changes. It uses guided questions to build motivation and set realistic goals for behavior change.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Carole will help clients decide which methods to use based on their goals, preferences, and the issues they bring. That decision is collaborative and may shift over time as progress is made.

The biography does not specify which session formats are offered online, so confirm current options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. They let people practice new communication and coping skills in everyday routines while still working with a licensed professional.
