About Carol
Carol Queen is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in North Carolina. She brings five years of professional experience to therapy and focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, and self-esteem concerns. Carol aims to create a calm, open space where clients can share what they are feeling without judgment.
She uses a somatic-informed perspective alongside evidence-based methods to help people notice how stress shows up in the body and find practical ways to respond.
Background and approach
Sessions often include talking through patterns, learning simple grounding skills, and exploring choices that fit each person's life. Carol also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help clients change unhelpful thoughts and build values-driven action. Her background includes work in crisis intervention, substance abuse support, and intensive family interventions.
That experience shapes a practical approach when clients are feeling overwhelmed or facing major life changes. She has provided services across age ranges and in different settings, which informs how she tailors care to individual needs. Carol describes her role as a partner in the process.
She focuses on active listening, clear feedback, and helping people set realistic goals. Many clients come wanting relief from anxiety, grief, parenting strain, or relationship conflict, and she helps them take manageable steps forward. Therapy with Carol is collaborative.
People who choose her can expect straightforward guidance, tools to use between sessions, and steady support while they work toward personal goals.
How somatic and evidence-based approaches translate online
Somatic-informed therapy invites attention to bodily sensations alongside thoughts and feelings; online sessions can still guide breathing, grounding, and gentle body awareness to help with anxiety, stress, and trauma-related symptoms. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying values and taking committed action, which works well in remote sessions through exercises and goal-setting that people can practice between meetings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets unhelpful thoughts and behaviors by teaching concrete skills like thought records and behavioral experiments that translate easily to video or text work.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. The therapist will collaborate with each person to identify which methods feel most useful and adjust the plan over time based on goals and preferences. That collaborative stance helps clients try different strategies and keep what works best.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules and to use short check-ins or messaging between longer appointments. Many people appreciate being able to work on skills at home while still getting regular professional support.
