About Carol
Carol Harris is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in New York with 25 years of experience. She works with adults facing depression, anxiety, anger, grief, stress, addictions, relationship and parenting concerns, and life transitions. Sessions are offered in English and she accepts international clients.
Carol focuses on practical, conversational work. She uses straightforward talk therapy to help people name patterns that cause frustration or repeated conflict. She helps clients sort through relationship problems, parenting strains, and the effects of trauma or loss. Her background includes long-term work with ethnically diverse adults and older clients coping with medical issues.
Her approach blends several evidence-based angles. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to look at thinking patterns and habits that feed anger and mood problems. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice feelings and choose actions that match their values. Attachment-Based Therapy is drawn on to understand patterns that repeat in close relationships.
Carol also brings client-centered listening and mindfulness practices into sessions. That means conversations focus on what matters most to the person in front of her, with practical techniques for calming and decision-making. She has worked across a range of concerns from addiction and bipolar disorder to body image and caregiver stress.

How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Carol frequently blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy in straightforward ways. CBT focuses on identifying thought patterns and behaviors that keep anger and anxiety active and then testing small changes to see what helps. ACT teaches noticing uncomfortable feelings and choosing actions that reflect personal values rather than reacting on impulse.She also draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to look at repeated patterns in relationships that can trigger anger. That work helps people see how past connection styles show up now and offers different ways to respond in close relationships. All of this is done conversationally and with practical exercises you can try between sessions.
Finding the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. The therapist will help figure out which tools fit your goals and routine, and adjust methods as needed. Expect a mix of conversation, skill practice, and at-home exercises aimed at clearer communication and better emotion management.
