Carol Harris, LCSW

Carol Harris is a licensed clinical social worker with 25 years of experience who helps people facing depression, anxiety, grief, and major life changes. She works with adults on relationship and parenting concerns, caregiving stress, addiction, and issues around aging and geriatric needs. Carol is patient and direct in session and aims to make therapy practical and accessible for busy lives.

Carol draws on several evidence-informed approaches to match each person’s situation. She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify values and take meaningful steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used for symptom-focused work such as anxiety or depression. Attachment-based and client-centered methods guide conversations about relationships and long-standing patterns.

She has worked for many years with ethnically diverse adults and with older adults who have medical conditions or caregiving responsibilities. That background informs how she talks about stress, chronic illness, and the transitions that come with aging. Carol describes herself as experienced, patient, and kind.

Sessions focus on practical strategies, emotion-focused conversations, and building coping skills suited to daily life. Carol helps people set clear goals and tries to keep sessions straightforward and solution-oriented. She encourages open conversation about what is and isn’t working and adjusts the approach as needed.

People who choose Carol can expect steady guidance through change and loss, attention to relationship patterns, and support for parenting and caregiving pressures. She works collaboratively to find useful steps forward and to reduce what feels overwhelming.

How Carol’s approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people identify what matters to them and take small committed steps in that direction. It is useful for people facing life transitions, stress, or low motivation. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on changing unhelpful thought and behavior patterns and is often used for anxiety, depression, and coping with change. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at relationship patterns and how early bonds affect current connections; it can help with intimacy, communication, and caregiving stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Carol will talk with clients about goals, preferences, and how they respond to different methods. She aims to make therapy collaborative, trying approaches and adjusting them together until something feels useful.

Please confirm the session formats available before booking, since specific formats are not listed in the biography. Many people find online therapy helpful because it can fit around work, caregiving, and medical appointments. It can make it easier to attend sessions without travel, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove the need to be on camera for every meeting. Licensed professionals can adapt ACT, CBT, and attachment-informed work to an online setting to focus on practical skills, relationship patterns, and coping strategies.
