Carol Harris

Carol Harris is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) with 25 years of experience. She helps people who are facing grief, major life changes, anxiety, depression, or relationship and parenting strains. Carol works with adults across the lifespan, including older adults coping with medical issues and caregivers under stress.

Her approach blends several therapies so sessions focus on what matters most to each person. She uses clear, practical tools from cognitive behavioral therapy to address unhelpful thinking and behavior. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice difficult feelings without getting stuck, while mindfulness practices build simple skills for steadying attention.

Carol draws on attachment-informed work to look at patterns that started in earlier relationships and affect how people relate now. Sessions are client-centered, so she listens first and tailors the plan to each person's needs and goals. Expect a calm, patient style that lets people move at their own pace.

She has long experience with medical and aging concerns, chronic illness, and caregiver stress. That background shapes how she supports people through end-of-life questions, cancer-related distress, and the practical and emotional sides of caregiving.

Carol typically helps people set manageable goals and try small changes between sessions. She encourages straightforward conversation about hopes, losses, and next steps. To begin, readers are invited to use the site's Start Therapy process to match and schedule a session.

How Carol’s approaches translate to online work

Carol often uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice painful thoughts and feelings and move toward valued actions. That approach can be useful for grief, chronic stress, and coping with illness because it focuses on values and small steps. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people live with hard emotions while still pursuing what matters.

She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches concrete skills to change unhelpful patterns. CBT is helpful for anxiety, depression, and managing mood or behavior changes. Attachment-informed work explores relationship patterns that shape current struggles and can clarify how to build different ways of relating.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to your goals and try methods that fit your needs and preferences. She can adjust pace and techniques over time so the plan matches what’s helpful.

Confirm the therapist's current session options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, shorten travel time, and allow check-ins from different locations when needed. Some formats work better for brief check-ins while others suit deeper, longer conversations, so discuss what will work best when you schedule.
