About Carol
Carol Yauger is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) in Maryland with 22 years of experience. She works with adults who are carrying stress, anxiety, relationship strain, family conflict, grief, and major life changes. Carol also notes work around communication problems, control issues, forgiveness, guilt and shame, and women's health concerns.
Her approach is straightforward conversation and practical planning. Sessions focus on understanding what matters most to the person and on small, manageable steps to address day-to-day problems. She adapts the pace and topics to the person's concerns rather than following a rigid script.
Carol pays attention to how family history, faith, or personal expectations can leave lingering guilt or shame. She helps people name those feelings, sort through what they mean now, and consider options for responding differently. Work often includes talking through interaction patterns and experimenting with different communication strategies.
When grief or a major life change is present, sessions include time for remembering, making sense of loss, and setting short-term coping goals. For relationship and communication struggles, she focuses on clearer expression and boundary work so people can try new behaviors between sessions.
Practical details are part of the work. Carol offers sessions in English and accepts international clients. She asks new clients to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session so the two of you can decide how to proceed together.
How Carol uses common therapeutic methods online
Carol draws on evidence-based techniques that focus on thought patterns and on practical behavior change. Cognitive-style approaches look at unhelpful thoughts that fuel guilt and anxiety and help people test new, more balanced ways of thinking. These methods can be useful for social anxiety, rumination, and guilt that centers on self-judgment.She also uses strategies that emphasize behavior and communication. That can mean practicing new ways of speaking up, setting boundaries, or breaking a problem into small steps so it feels less overwhelming. These techniques help with relationship strain, control issues, and the everyday work of coping with life changes.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will collaborate with the client to decide which techniques fit their goals and preferences, and she will adjust methods as needs change.
If you prefer remote sessions, confirm the exact session formats before booking since the biography does not list specific options. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life - for example a shorter check-in during a work break, avoiding travel time, or choosing a session that does not require video. Licensed professionals can use these arrangements to keep therapy practical and accessible without promising particular outcomes.
