About Carol

Carol Harris is a licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in New York with 25 years of experience. She works with people facing depression, anxiety, parenting concerns, relationship and intimacy issues, and problems related to stress and life changes.

Carol has a long history supporting both younger adults and older clients, including people coping with medical conditions and geriatric challenges. She also addresses trauma, grief, addictions, ADHD, and a wide range of family and personal concerns such as abandonment, attachment issues, caregiver stress, and communication problems.

In sessions she uses practical, evidence-informed approaches. Clients can expect conversations that focus on day-to-day problems, patterns that affect relationships, and skills for coping with strong feelings. She draws on cognitive behavioral techniques, mindfulness practices, and acceptance-based methods to help people make choices that match their values.

Carol pays attention to how early attachment and relationship history shape current struggles. That perspective is used to look at recurring conflicts, commitment worries, and intimacy-related concerns. She also uses client-centered listening to make space for each person’s story and goals.

Her work includes supporting people through bereavement, divorce and separation issues, substance-related problems, body image and eating concerns, chronic illness and pain, and career stress. For those unsure how to begin, she asks practical questions and focuses on the next manageable steps.

BHow sessions work

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice difficult thoughts and feelings while taking actions that reflect their values. It is often used for stress, anxiety, and life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical strategies for changing unhelpful patterns. It is commonly used for depression, anxiety, and coping skills. Attachment-Based Therapy examines relationship patterns that began earlier in life and how they show up now, which can help with intimacy, trust, and communication problems.

Deciding which approach to use is collaborative. The therapist will talk with the client about their goals, daily demands, and what has or has not worked before. Together they will try methods that fit the client’s priorities and make adjustments as needed.

The therapist’s biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm available online or remote options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It also makes it simpler for international clients to connect across time zones. The focus remains on clear goals, practical skill-building, and regular review of progress so sessions fit into everyday life.
