Carol Harris, LCSW

Carol Harris is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) with 25 years of practice in New York. She helps people facing depression, anxiety, grief, and stress. She also works with those managing relationship and intimacy-related issues and people coping with life changes. Carol supports LGBT clients and those dealing with addictions, ADHD, and career concerns.

She has a long history of working with ethnically diverse adults and their young adult children. She also has experience supporting older adults and people with medical conditions. That background shapes a practical, respectful way of talking through problems and planning next steps.

In sessions she draws on several approaches to match what each person needs. She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify values and act on them. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking and build different coping skills. Carol also brings attachment-based and client-centered ideas to promote stronger connections and clearer self-understanding.

Her style is patient and kind. She aims to make sessions straightforward and goal-focused. Together, she and the person she’s working with set realistic steps and track progress between meetings.

Carol believes reaching out was a good first move and offers steady support through change. People who want practical tools, steady listening, and help navigating transitions may find her approach useful.

How therapy approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy focuses on helping people name their values and take small steps toward them, even when strong emotions show up. It can help with anxiety, depression, and coping with life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at patterns of thought and behavior and teaches concrete skills to manage mood and stress in everyday life.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will ask about your goals, what has and hasn’t worked, and what feels doable. Together you can try one method or combine ideas from different approaches to fit your needs and preferences.

Confirm the exact session formats before booking since the biography does not list them. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and let people join from different locations when travel would be difficult. Licensed professionals can also adapt exercises and between-session tasks for remote use so progress continues between appointments.
