About Carole

Carole Boes is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Pennsylvania with 35 years of experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, mood disorders, trauma and relationship concerns. Her practice notes blended family issues among the areas she focuses on, alongside grief, addictions, and parenting-related strain.

Carole uses direct, practical conversation to help people sort through strong emotions and daily pressures. She listens for what’s getting in the way of decisions and habits, then helps people test small changes. Sessions often include setting clear goals and trying out new ways to respond to stressful moments.

Her work includes attention to trauma and its aftereffects, including post-traumatic stress and sexual assault recovery. She also addresses mood shifts such as seasonal affective disorder and postpartum depression. Many clients come with workplace stress, caregiver strain, or the fallout from divorce and separation.

Carole draws on a mix of client-centered techniques, cognitive behavioral ideas, and solution-focused steps. That means she balances listening with skill-building and practical problem solving. Motivational interviewing informs how she helps people move from thinking about change to actually making changes.

Sessions are straightforward and goal-oriented. Clients can expect conversations about how thoughts, routines, and relationships affect mood and behavior. Practical coping tools and short-term experiments are commonly used to track progress and adjust the plan as needed.

Approaches used in online sessions

Carole commonly uses Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in her work. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and helping people clarify their own goals and values to guide change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy examines how thoughts and behaviors interact and teaches specific skills to alter unhelpful patterns.

She also uses Motivational Interviewing to support readiness for change. That approach concentrates on finding motivation within the person and turning it into practical next steps. Finding the right mix of methods is part of the process, and she collaborates with each person to decide what to try first based on needs and preferences.

Confirm the specific online session formats before booking, as the biography does not list formats explicitly. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. In practice this helps people maintain consistency while juggling work, caregiving, and blended household responsibilities.
