Carol Harris , LCSW

Carol Harris is a licensed clinical social worker with 25 years of experience. She focuses on helping people who are dealing with anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, parenting stress, and a wide range of life changes. Carol works with individuals across the lifespan and accepts international clients. She practices in New York and conducts sessions in English.

Clients can expect practical, down-to-earth support that addresses day-to-day challenges. Carol draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to help people spot unhelpful patterns and try new behaviors. She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help clients clarify values and take action that matters to them.

Attachment-based ideas shape how she looks at relationship and intimacy concerns, focusing on patterns of connection and trust. Client-centered care means she listens first and follows each person’s pace. Mindfulness strategies are woven into sessions to build calm and focus when stress or low mood feel overwhelming.

Carol has worked with issues that include addiction, ADHD, body image, chronic illness, caregiving strain, and the emotional effects of cancer. She supports people facing divorce, abandonment, or changes in career and identity. Her practice aims to make tough problems more manageable through clear steps and steady support.

To begin, people use the site’s Start Therapy flow, complete a short matching questionnaire, and then schedule sessions. She offers a mix of video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging so therapy can fit into busy lives.

Therapeutic approaches that work online

Carol uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people notice thoughts and behaviors that get in the way, then try specific changes to improve mood and functioning. This approach is helpful for anxiety, depression, and managing stress related to work or parenting.

She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help clarify what matters most and take committed action even when uncomfortable feelings are present. ACT supports people facing grief, chronic illness, or major life transitions by focusing on values and practical steps.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Carol will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, then tailor methods so sessions feel relevant and doable. That collaboration helps pick techniques that match the problem and the person’s way of coping.

Online therapy offers flexibility for people with busy schedules or limited local options. Video calls allow a standard therapy experience with face-to-face interaction, while phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging work well for brief check-ins, ongoing coaching, or when someone prefers written reflections. These options make it simpler to keep continuity of care and fit therapy into real life.
