About Caroline

Caroline Murray is an LCMHC with 20 years of clinical experience who blends practical, evidence-informed methods with a person-centered stance.

Background and approach

She emphasizes Cognitive Behavioral Therapy alongside complementary approaches to help clients identify unhelpful patterns, build coping skills, and make meaningful changes in areas such as stress, anxiety, anger, self-esteem, career concerns, and life transitions. Her work often focuses on helping people navigate relationship issues, communication problems, and the emotional fallout of separation or caregiving responsibilities.

She also brings experience addressing chronic pain or illness, codependency, addiction-related challenges, grief and shame, and the complex stressors that come with aging and caregiving. Murray creates a respectful, empathetic space where clients’ goals guide the process, drawing on ACT, DBT, mindfulness, and narrative elements as needed.

She pairs collaborative exploration with concrete strategies so clients can practice new responses between sessions. Based in North Carolina, she conducts therapy in English and structures services to accommodate different preferences for session format and pacing.

Evidence-Based Approaches for Online Care

Caroline Murray often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors; this approach offers practical tools for anxiety, stress, and anger management. She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify what matters to them and develop psychological flexibility through mindfulness and committed action. Client-centered methods provide a supportive frame, prioritizing empathy and the client’s own goals as the foundation for clinical work.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. She works with each person to explore which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and adapts strategies over time so the work stays relevant and useful. Clients and therapist discuss options and adjust the plan as progress unfolds.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to maintain continuity when life is unpredictable. These options provide flexibility in how and when clients connect, allowing the therapeutic work to continue in ways that match individual routines and comfort levels.
