About Carol
Carol Harris is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in New York with 25 years of experience. She helps people who are dealing with depression, anxiety, parenting and relationship problems. Her work also covers grief, trauma, stress, addiction, and challenges tied to life transitions.
She has a long history of working with diverse adults and with older adults facing medical or geriatric concerns. That experience informs practical steps she offers when health, aging, or caregiving stress make things harder to manage. She also supports people concerned about attachment, abandonment, and intimacy-related issues.
Her approach draws on cognitive behavioral methods alongside acceptance and commitment ideas and mindfulness. Those methods focus on noticing unhelpful thoughts, testing them in everyday life, and practicing small behavior changes. Sessions tend to aim for clear, manageable experiments rather than long abstract discussion.
Client-centered and attachment-based ideas shape how she listens and prioritizes relationship patterns. This helps when communication problems, commitment worries, or coping after separation are central concerns. She brings practical problem-solving for work and career strain, body image and eating-related issues, and addiction-related problems.
People who want structured, hands-on strategies often find this approach useful. To start, she asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. The subscription-based sessions can be canceled at any time and vary with location.
How CBT, ACT and attachment ideas translate to online work
Carol combines cognitive behavioral techniques, acceptance and commitment ideas, and attachment-based perspectives in short, practical ways. Cognitive behavioral work focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing different behaviors to see what changes feel useful; this often means setting small experiments between sessions. Acceptance and commitment approaches help people notice difficult feelings and choose actions aligned with their values rather than trying to avoid every uncomfortable emotion. Attachment-based ideas look at recurring relationship patterns and communication habits to reduce misunderstandings and improve closeness.Finding the right mix of methods is part of the process. The therapist will work together with each person to decide which approaches to try based on current goals and what feels most helpful in practice. That collaboration guides whether sessions emphasize thought work, values-based action, or relationship pattern work.
Session logistics should be confirmed before booking since formats are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, support shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. People often use online sessions to keep continuity during life transitions, coordinate care around medical appointments, or try structured skill practice between meetings.
