About Carol

Carol Queen is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) in North Carolina who uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy alongside other approaches to help people feeling overwhelmed by life. She keeps conversations straightforward and focuses on building a respectful, warm connection so clients can talk about what matters most. She listens for the emotions beneath patterns like anxiety, anger, low self-esteem, and relationship struggle.

Using Emotionally-Focused Therapy and attachment-based ideas, she helps people notice feelings, understand them, and try new ways of relating to themselves and others.

Background and approach

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy tools are also available for practical coping skills. Carol draws on five years of professional experience in settings that included crisis intervention and substance use support. Her background includes work with varied adult populations and roles that emphasized short-term stabilization and longer-term skill building.

This experience shapes a straightforward style that balances emotional insight with actionable steps. Sessions may address grief, trauma and abuse, parenting stress, addiction-related concerns, body image, chronic illness, career strain, and major life transitions. She aims to help people clarify their values, reduce unhelpful patterns, and rebuild a sense of agency when life feels chaotic.

Carol invites people to start with a simple conversation and a brief questionnaire to match goals and scheduling. She frames therapy as a collaborative process that adapts approaches to each person’s needs and preferences.

Emotion and Action Online: Approaches That Guide Change

Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people identify and work with the feelings that drive difficult patterns in relationships and personal life. It focuses on noticing emotional responses, understanding what they mean, and trying new ways of connecting or responding that reduce pain and increase closeness.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) teaches simple skills to notice thoughts without getting stuck in them and to take steps that match personal values. It is useful for anxiety, low mood, and when life changes make it hard to move forward. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at early and current relationship patterns to explain how people respond to stress and connection; it can help with intimacy issues and repeated relationship struggles.

Finding the best approach is a team effort. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't worked before, then try approaches that fit those needs. Sessions can mix emotion-focused work with practical CBT or ACT exercises when that helps progress.

Online sessions are available via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video is helpful for deeper conversation and emotional work, phone can fit a busy schedule or lower bandwidth, and chat or text can work for brief check-ins or when someone prefers writing. These options make therapy easier to fit into daily life and allow consistent contact from different locations.
