Grief counselors and therapists in Midland, TX

My name is Carolyn Cole (she/her), and I am a lifelong social worker in Texas, (born & raised in Louisiana).My social worker life has had twists and turns- I am grateful for the broad and diverse learning. I have worked in/with hospice, hospital settings, substance use disorder, teen pregnancy/parenting, and school districts, I received my LCSW (clinical social worker license) before the pandemic, a traumatic and anxious time for many of us. And, the impact still lingers with us.

I am trained in many modalities and work with my clients to identify and empower their strengths, their health. and and any roadblocks in life

My academic research includes integrated services for positive educational outcomes, and the lived experience of LGBTQIA+ individuals, including those with religious and church trauma. I have significant experience working with trauma, grief, and loss. I also teach clinical focused social work masters level (MSW) students at the university level.

I offer a strengths-based approach to our work; what is possible and positive.

My work includes adults of all ages, adolescents, and a warm, empathetic demeanor. I look forward to navigating your success with you!

Best of all: I can see you virtually "On Your Time"; weekends and nights available.

I help Preteens, teens, and adults heal from trauma and work through challenges such as anxiety, depression, grief, relationship difficulties, emotional dysregulation, and negative self-beliefs. Many clients come to me feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected, often carrying the weight of painful past experiences. I provide a safe, supportive space where you feel understood and not alone. Care is tailored to your needs, helping you process experiences, reduce distress, and build healthier coping skills. My goal is to support healing, resilience, and emotional balance so you can move toward a more connected and fulfilling life.

Life has a way of throwing "unexpected" transitions our way—whether you’re a young adult finding your footing, a couple trying to bridge a growing gap, or a fellow veteran transitioning back to civilian life. As a proud veteran of the United States Navy, I bring a unique perspective of discipline, resilience, and service to my clinical work. I hold a Master’s Degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from the University of North Texas and have spent a decade supporting diverse populations, including first responders, civil service members, and families navigating the complexities of depression and relationship conflict. I'm here to ensure you feel seen and supported as we turn life's surprises into opportunities for growth.
