About Carol
Dr. Carol Carrell helps people manage depression, anxiety, stress, and relationship challenges. She is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with three decades of clinical experience. Her tone is straightforward and practical, aimed at people who want clear steps and steady support.
She keeps sessions focused on what matters most to the person in front of her. That can mean using cognitive behavioral strategies to change patterns of thinking and behavior. It can also mean listening from a client-centered stance so a person feels heard and understood.
Dr. Carrell has worked with a wide range of issues over 30 years, including caregiving stress, chronic pain and illness, trauma and abuse, addiction, grief, and concerns tied to sexual orientation. She has experience with people facing medical challenges and with those coping with major life transitions.
She pays attention to communication and practical skills when relationships are strained. In couples work she focuses on identifying strengths each partner brings and on improving how people talk with one another. For caregivers she helps identify sources of fatigue and ways to set limits and find support.
Her approach is collaborative and flexible. She believes one method does not fit everyone, and she works with each person to find the best combination of approaches for their goals. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions according to availability.
