About Carole
Carole Boes is a licensed clinical social worker with 35 years of experience helping people navigate major life shifts and strong emotions. She builds an affirming, empathetic space where clients can explore grief, trauma, relationship issues, mood concerns, and substance-related challenges while learning practical coping skills.
Background and approach
Carole’s practice emphasizes respect for each person’s background and pace of change, guiding clients toward clearer thinking and more effective responses to stress. Her work often addresses the effects of sexual assault, workplace pressure, caregiving strain, divorce and blended family transitions, and mood disorders including bipolar and seasonal mood changes.
Carole integrates cognitive behavioral ideas with client-centered listening, motivational interviewing, solution-focused steps, and trauma-informed care to help people set achievable goals and reduce symptoms that interfere with daily life. Based in Pennsylvania, she uses a collaborative style that prioritizes the client’s goals and strengths while offering concrete strategies for coping and growth.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Carole combines cognitive behavioral techniques and client-centered principles to guide online sessions in a focused and supportive way. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify patterns of thinking and behavior that contribute to distress and introduces concrete tools for changing those patterns; it can be useful for anxiety, depression, mood shifts, and stress-related problems. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathic listening and creating a nonjudgmental space where a person’s own goals and values shape the work, which supports self-directed insight and emotional processing.Choosing the right approach is part of the collaborative process. Carole works with each client to clarify goals, try techniques, and adjust the plan as needed so the methods align with personal preferences and life circumstances. That collaborative stance helps clients feel involved in selecting what feels most helpful.
Online options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it possible to pursue consistent work on coping skills, trauma processing, relationship concerns, and mood management without rearranging major parts of daily life, while still maintaining a therapeutic relationship with a licensed professional.
