About Carol
Carol Loose is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Kentucky with 18 years of professional experience. She helps people who are carrying stress, anxiety, relationship strain, family conflict, parenting worries, and the weight of guilt and shame. Carol often supports clients facing life transitions, fertility or adoption concerns, caregiver stress, and mood or trauma-related difficulties.
Her approach is practical and person-focused. She listens first, then works with each person to set concrete goals. Sessions use clear methods instead of jargon. Clients can expect to talk about what is happening now and try exercises that apply to daily life.
Carol draws from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to notice difficult thoughts and change unhelpful patterns. She also uses Client-Centered and Solution-Focused methods to clarify priorities and find small steps forward. Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills appear when emotion regulation or distress tolerance is needed.
In sessions she helps people untangle guilt and shame linked to family, faith, relationships, or past decisions. She offers ways to practice self-kindness, build boundaries, and manage stress so choices feel clearer. Work may include short skills practice, thought records, and identifying values that guide action.
Carol practices with adults in Kentucky and conducts therapy in English. People interested in starting are asked to complete a brief matching questionnaire and schedule an initial session to see how the work might fit their life.
How Carol combines approach and online work
Carol commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in her work. ACT focuses on noticing thoughts and choosing actions that match personal values rather than getting stuck on difficult feelings. CBT looks at patterns of thinking and behavior and uses exercises to reduce anxiety and change unhelpful reactions.Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. Carol treats that as a collaborative question and will help clients test methods that fit their goals, preferences, and daily life. Together they track what helps and adjust the plan as needed.
