More about Carol
- 30 years' experience
- Female
- LPC
I am a therapist with over 30 years of experience helping others achieve improved mental health. I have experience working with children, adolescents, adults, and geriatric clients in a variety of settings. I obtained a Bachelor's degree in Psychology and Criminal Justice, as well a a Master's of Education degree in Counseling and Guidance from the University of Montevallo, in Montevallo, Alabama. l later completed my Doctor of Education degree at Nova Southeastern University in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida.
I believe in not giving up on clients, and equally important, not allowing clients to give up on themselves. I utilize motivational interviewing to identity and enhance the strength of my client while exploring ways in which those strengths can move my client toward improved health and happiness.
I am very excited about the prospect of working with you and hope to hear from you soon~

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Absolutely amazing! Listens to everything I have to say, and is super nice!! Gives amazing advice as well!
I started therapy at a very low point in my life and was absolutely terrified to take that first step. With in the first 5 minutes of my first session with Carol Crowson, 6 months ago I knew I was in good hands. I could not have asked for a more understanding, kind, gentle and compassionate therapist. She's simply amazing
She is very helpful!
Dr. Crowson is seriously a blessing. I was terrified of the thought of therapy before I signed up for BetterHelp, but she's been so kind and helpful through this entire process. I'm so grateful for her!
So far, my experience with Dr. Crowson has been positive. She is very patient with me, as well as gives me things to ponder during our sessions.
exactly on time and listens to everything i have to say.
I love It because she’s a good listner
Dr. Crowson is extremely patient and understanding of topics that I am nervous and hesitant to speak about. She makes it easy to talk about things that I would otherwise keep to myself. I appreciate that she keeps a smile on her face and never shows any signs of judgment, which Is something I fear when talking about myself. She is very calming and helps me talk through issues and understand solutions without it feeling forced.
I have only had a couple sessions with Dr. Crowson, so we are still in the process of getting to know one another. I can say with confidence that she has been an attentive therapist so far, and provides thoughtful insights regarding my circumstances. I am confident in her ability to help me overcome my challenges.
She. Is. EVERYTHING
I was absolutely terrified of the idea of going to therapy before I was matched with Dr. Crowson. She is one of the sweetest and most genuine souls I've ever met, and I'm so very grateful to have her as a therapist. She's helped me work through a lot of my personal problems in relation to my mental health, my professional life, and my personal life, and she's so supportive and helpful. I consider myself very lucky to be one of her clients!
She is very calming!
Very good listener and encourager.
