About Carole
Carole Boes is a licensed clinical social worker with 35 years of experience helping people manage strong emotions and difficult life changes. She offers a calm, nonjudgmental presence and practical guidance for those feeling overwhelmed by stress, anger, grief, or depression.
Carole often supports people dealing with trauma and abuse, survivors of sexual assault, and those facing major transitions like divorce or caregiving responsibilities. She also helps with workplace stress, mood disorders, and the ups and downs of parenting and blended family life.
Background and approach
In sessions she focuses on clear, concrete tools clients can use between meetings. She draws on cognitive behavioral ideas to identify unhelpful thoughts and change patterns. She also uses client-centered listening and solution-focused planning to set short-term goals and build steady progress.
Carole brings a practical, down-to-earth style. Conversations move at the client’s pace and emphasize what will make daily life easier. She pays attention to identity and life context, including LGBT concerns and the stresses that come with caregiving or first responder roles.
Her goal is to help people find manageable steps forward, reduce intense reactions like anger, and rebuild confidence after loss or trauma. Carole works from Pennsylvania and communicates in English.

Therapeutic approaches for online care
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening without judgment and following the client's lead to build trust and clarity. It helps people who need space to talk through feelings and decide what matters most to them.Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns. It is often used for anxiety, depression, anger management, and mood regulation.
Motivational interviewing helps people find internal reasons to make changes and strengthen commitment to goals. It can be useful when someone is facing ambivalence about change, including in addiction or behavior shifts.
Choosing the right method is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to match approaches to their needs, goals, and preferences, and may blend strategies over time as progress unfolds.
Online sessions offer flexibility to fit therapy into busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can work with lower bandwidth, and live chat or text-based messaging provide shorter check-ins or ongoing support between sessions. These options make it easier to schedule sessions around work, caregiving, or travel while keeping continuity of care.
