Carol Queen, LCSW

Carol Queen is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in North Carolina. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship strain. Carol aims to create an open space where clients can talk about difficult feelings without judgment. Taking the first step can feel hard, and she acknowledges that effort from the start.

Carol uses practical, evidence-informed methods to help people cope when life becomes chaotic. She often blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) with mindfulness skills to address negative thinking and build calmer daily routines. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and attachment-informed ideas also shape her sessions when they fit a client's needs.

Her background includes work with adults across the lifespan and with people who have faced crisis situations, substance use concerns, and caregiving stresses. She has experience supporting caregivers, people living with chronic illness, and others managing major life transitions. That variety informs a flexible, problem-solving approach in session.

Carol emphasizes listening first and helping clients set realistic goals. Sessions often focus on practical steps - changing unhelpful thoughts, trying new coping skills, and strengthening close relationships. She encourages clients to notice what works and adjust plans as needed.

People seeking support for living with health challenges, grief, trauma, or parenting stress may find her approach useful. She works collaboratively to help clients move toward goals that match their values and daily responsibilities.

How Carol’s Approaches Translate to Online Work

Carol often draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and try small behavioral experiments to test new ways of coping. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and managing daily routines. She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy ideas to clarify values and encourage committed action toward meaningful goals, which can help when living with health challenges or long-term stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Carol will discuss options and adapt methods to fit a person's needs, goals, and preferences. That choice is collaborative - she listens, suggests a plan, and adjusts as clients notice what helps.

Confirm the current session formats before booking, since specific online options are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time for people juggling medical appointments or caregiving. Many clients find virtual sessions help them practice skills between visits and apply changes directly in their everyday settings.
