Carol Queen, LCSW

Carol Queen is a licensed clinical social worker in North Carolina. She brings five years of experience helping people cope with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, anger, and self-esteem challenges. Carol aims to make the first step into therapy easier by offering a calm, nonjudgmental presence.

She focuses on everyday problems that can feel overwhelming. Clients often come when life changes, grief, or addiction issues make it hard to manage. Carol listens, validates feelings, and works with each person to set clear, realistic goals.

Her approach draws on practical therapies such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy. She also uses Attachment-Based and Client-Centered methods to strengthen relationships and emotional awareness. Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills are included when emotional regulation and coping skills are needed.

Carol has worked across settings that included crisis intervention, substance abuse treatment, and intensive family interventions. She has experience with pediatric, adult, and geriatric clients, and her background includes time supporting military-connected households while a military spouse.

Sessions focus on building a trusting relationship and giving clients tools they can use between meetings. Carol encourages active listening and collaborative problem solving so people can make choices that fit their values and everyday life.

Therapeutic approaches you can use online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts without getting stuck in them and focus on actions that match personal values. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, and motivation problems. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns; it often helps with anxiety, mood, and stress. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationship patterns influence current connections and can help with intimacy, trust, and communication struggles.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences and together decide which methods to try. That collaborative process helps shape a plan that feels useful and realistic.

Confirm the available session formats before booking so you know what options exist. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. Many people find it simpler to follow skill practice between meetings when sessions are scheduled consistently. Licensed professionals can adapt ACT, CBT, and attachment-focused work to an online setting while keeping the focus on practical tools and relationship work.
