Carol Loose, LCSW

Carol Loose is a licensed clinical social worker with 18 years of experience. She helps people manage stress and anxiety and address relationship, family, and parenting concerns. Her approach is warm and straightforward, making it easier to take that first step toward support.

Carol focuses on creating an open space for honest conversation. She encourages people to name what feels hard and to try small, practical steps between sessions. Sessions are meant to be a place to work through life transitions, family tensions, and parenting challenges without judgment.

Her work draws on several well-known approaches, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Client-Centered Therapy. Those methods help people notice thoughts and feelings, test new behaviors, and build clearer values-based goals. She also uses skills from Dialectical Behavior Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy when they fit the need.

Carol has supported people through adoption and foster care concerns, blended family issues, caregiver stress, fertility and parenting strains, and struggles with guilt or shame. She also helps with mood disorders, post-traumatic stress, and questions about life purpose and self-love.

How Carol uses therapy approaches online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It focuses on clarifying what matters and taking small actions that match those values, which can help with ongoing anxiety and life changes.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behavior. It uses practical exercises to test unhelpful thoughts and build different habits, often useful for stress, mood concerns, and anxiety management.

Client-Centered Therapy centers the person's own perspective. The therapist listens carefully, reflects what is said, and supports the client in finding their own solutions and strengths.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and recommend strategies that fit the individual's needs. The process is collaborative and may draw from more than one method as progress unfolds.
