About Carol
Dr. Carol R Crowson uses a client-focused approach to help people manage anger and related concerns. She brings a calm, steady presence and three decades of counseling experience to sessions.
Her work centers on practical steps people can take now to feel less overwhelmed and more in control. She believes people have strengths to build on. Motivational interviewing is part of how she helps people notice those strengths and use them to change unhelpful patterns.
Background and approach
She also uses cognitive behavioral techniques to identify the thoughts and behaviors that feed anger or anxiety and then replace them with more helpful habits. Dr. Crowson earned a Doctor of Education after completing a Master of Education in Counseling and Guidance and a bachelor’s degree in Psychology and Criminal Justice.
She has worked with a wide age range, including young adults and older adults, across many settings over 30 years as an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor. In sessions she focuses on clear goals and small steps. People can expect straightforward conversations about triggers, coping strategies, and workable plans for everyday life.
She also draws on solution-focused methods to help people find quick, practical changes that make a difference. Her practice addresses stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, depression, grief, parenting strain, self-esteem, career transitions, ADHD, bipolar mood concerns, eating issues, and other mood or personality-related challenges.
The emphasis is on helping people reduce anger and build coping skills they can use after sessions end.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following the person’s lead. In practice that means the therapist creates space for you to talk through what matters most and helps you set goals that fit your life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches concrete skills to interrupt anger and anxiety cycles.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with you about your goals, try methods that match your needs, and adjust the plan based on what helps most. That collaborative process aims to make sessions feel relevant and useful from the start.
Online sessions use video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging so people can fit counseling into busy lives. Video allows face-to-face conversation when visual cues matter. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging work well for quick updates, brief coaching, or when writing helps you organize thoughts. These options offer flexibility to keep progress moving between in-person demands.
