Dr. Carol Carrell, LMFT

Dr. Carol Carrell is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) with 30 years of clinical experience working across the lifespan, from children as young as 18 months to adults up to 98 years. She combines her roles as a professor and supervisor with a flexible clinical approach, drawing on multiple therapeutic modalities to meet each person where they are rather than relying on a single method. Her practice includes work with depression and anxiety, first responders and other professionals, individuals and families coping with illness, caregiver fatigue, chronic pain, trauma, abuse, and addiction.

She has supported children facing serious health challenges and the family systems that are affected by those struggles. Her experience extends to adolescents involved in the juvenile justice system, young people with learning disabilities, and those experiencing suicidality. Dr. Carrell has worked with LGBTQI clients through processes such as coming out to family and community, and she emphasizes creating an environment in which adolescents feel heard and accepted.

In couple and family work she prioritizes establishing a safe space to explore relational patterns, especially when chronic medical issues have introduced stress and communication difficulties. She pays particular attention to caregiver fatigue and helps partners identify strengths they bring to the relationship, improve communication, set goals, and move forward. Dr. Carrell views therapy as a meaningful opportunity for change and looks forward to partnering with clients who seek that work.
