About Carol-Ann
Carol-Ann Duncan-Dean is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) in Maine with 20 years of experience. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, grief, life transitions, relationship concerns, and intimacy-related issues. Carol-Ann uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Narrative Therapy as core tools in her work.
She helps people sort through anxious thoughts and practical stresses. Sessions often focus on concrete skills to manage symptoms and on reworking the personal stories that shape how someone sees a problem. Conversations are paced to the client, with time for reflection and practical steps between meetings.
In CBT she breaks down unhelpful thinking and tests small behavior changes to see what helps. Narrative Therapy work looks at the stories people tell about themselves and finds room for alternative, more useful narratives. Both approaches aim to make problems feel clearer and more manageable.
Carol-Ann’s two decades in the field have involved steady practice with adults facing common life challenges. She draws on that experience to set realistic goals and suggest exercises clients can use outside sessions. Progress is measured in everyday changes rather than technical labels.
People who want straightforward conversation about mood, relationships, grief, or shifts in life circumstances tend to find her style useful. Those interested in understanding their thinking patterns or reshaping personal narratives will see how the approaches fit together.

How Carol-Ann uses CBT and Narrative Therapy online
Carol-Ann commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and test small behavior changes. In plain terms, CBT sessions focus on tracking thoughts, trying different responses, and measuring what reduces stress or anxiety. Narrative Therapy work helps people notice the stories they tell about themselves and then explore alternative ways to describe their experiences and relationships.Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. Carol-Ann will discuss goals, try an approach, and adjust plans based on what feels most useful. Clients and therapist decide together whether to emphasize thought-focused work, story-based exploration, or a mix of both.
The practical benefits of online work include fitting sessions into a busy life and keeping therapy consistent when schedules change. Because the biography does not specify session formats, confirm current session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to maintain regular meetings, check in between appointments, and use written or audio exercises as part of ongoing work.
