Caroline Murray, LCMHC

Caroline Murray is a licensed clinical mental health counselor (LCMHC) in North Carolina with 20 years of experience. She focuses on thoughts and everyday habits that shape how people manage stress, anxiety, anger, and self-esteem. Caroline creates a calm, respectful space where people can talk through what’s happening now and try small changes that fit their life.

Her work often focuses on everyday struggles like workplace stress, relationship patterns, and major life transitions. She uses practical tools to help people notice unhelpful thinking and build new habits that reduce distress. Sessions are collaborative and paced to each person’s needs.

Caroline blends several approaches in straightforward ways. She draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to identify thinking patterns, client-centered listening to support each person’s values, and mindfulness to help with moment-to-moment coping. These methods are used to help with confidence, coping during change, and handling strong emotions.

Over two decades she has supported people dealing with chronic illness, caregiver stress, addiction concerns, divorce and grief, and communication problems. She pays attention to how multiple problems overlap and to real-life demands like work and caregiving.

Approaches that guide online work and goals

Caroline often uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in practical ways. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck, and to choose actions that match their values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and testing new behaviors to reduce anxiety and improve mood.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. The therapist will work together with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, preferences, and day-to-day needs. That collaborative choice helps shape session focus and homework between meetings.

Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current online options before booking. Many people find online sessions useful because they can fit therapy into work breaks, avoid travel time, and use shorter check-ins when needed. Online work can also make it easier to practice new habits in real-life settings and to review thoughts and coping skills between sessions.
