About Carol-Ann

Carol-Ann Duncan-Dean is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) with twenty years of experience. She meets people where they are and helps them take practical steps forward. Her approach is patient and straightforward, aimed at easing anxiety and stress and working through relationship and intimacy concerns.

She focuses on life transitions and grief alongside everyday worries. Sessions aim to make problems easier to understand and manage. Carol-Ann creates a calm space where people can speak honestly and test new ways of responding to difficult situations.

Background and approach

Carol-Ann uses Narrative Therapy to help people look at the stories they tell about themselves. That work often opens up new choices and reduces stuck patterns. She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which helps identify unhelpful thoughts and replace them with more balanced ones.

Her style is collaborative and practical. She breaks things into manageable steps and checks in about what is or isn’t working. People leave sessions with small, doable actions to try between meetings.

Carol-Ann practices in Maine and conducts sessions using video, phone, chat, and text formats. She invites people to start with a short matching questionnaire to find a good fit and then schedule sessions that suit their routine.

Online session options

Narrative and CBT approaches for online therapy

Carol-Ann blends Narrative Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in ways that translate well to online formats. Narrative Therapy looks at the personal stories people carry and helps separate the person from the problem, often bringing fresh options for change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing new ways of thinking and behaving to reduce anxiety and improve mood.

Choosing the best approach is a joint process. She talks with clients about goals and preferences, and adjusts techniques as needed. This collaborative planning helps people try methods that fit their situation and lifestyle rather than applying a fixed method.

Online sessions use video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to suit different needs. Video works well for in-depth conversation and visual cues, phone calls can be easier when bandwidth is limited, chat can fit quick check-ins, and messaging supports short, ongoing work between longer sessions. These options make scheduling more flexible and help therapy fit into busy routines.
