Hello, I am Carol Parham, Ed.D., LMHC. I earned a doctorate degree in education. counseling and supervision a master’s degree in mental health counseling and licensed mental health counselor. I am an adoption-competent trainer/therapist and a certified trauma therapist. Throughout my mental health internship and licensure years I have worked with children, adults and families toward improving how to navigate through life’s daily challenges.
I have provided therapeutic mental health services for children and adults that include topics of anxiety, anger, stress, depression, low self-esteem, living placement adjustments, adoption process, bonding and attachments with peers and adults, relationship building, separation from loved ones, grief, loss, end of life, and physical/emotional traumatic abuse.
It is of the upmost importance to provide everyone with care, compassion and understanding. I believe in a holistic and organic way of exploring each person’s wants and needs, as well as encourage active participation to develop a personal healing journey of what one’s life is meant to be. I offer client centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, motivational interviewing, trauma-focused therapy, solution-focused therapy, expressive activities and/or mindfulness activities; all of which contribute to creating a safe and comfortable therapy experience.
I am honored and look forward to moving through this journey with you.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

Dr Parham is very kind. I’m not the easiest patient but she’s been patient and persistent with me. Lovely human who clearly cares about those seeing her.
She’s great!
Dr. Carol is spectacular. She listens and offers sound bits to make you think. I appreciate her kindness and thoughtfulness. She noticed I was not active and suggested me to put the my account on hold. I appreciated her supportive emails prior and found that one and realized she really had my back.
I’ve struggled with the same issues for years, friends and family would try to help me but it was hard to accept that they could be right and things in my life will work out. I decided to try therapy for the first time. I had no expectations going in, but after a few sessions with Dr.Parham I’ve noticed huge improvements to my everyday life and just my overall well-being. She helped me understand my past, something I didn’t realize I was allowing to affect me. Her advice has helped me stop my negative thinking and stop tearing myself down. I find myself more present and happy with small moments of my life. I’m definitely happy I found Dr.Parham.
Dr Parham has been a huge help so far. I was feeling lost and had never been in therapy before. She made me feel comfortable right away. After only a few sessions she has helped me think differently than I was before and helping me improve my communication skills. I look forward to our continuing sessions. Thank you Dr Parham!
Dr Parham is an extremely professional, supportive, understanding and practical guide - her advice has not only helped me overcome my weaknesses and fears, but also made me a much better and more successful person in various areas of life.
We only spent a few weeks with Dr. Parham but she helped us communicate better.
She’s is the best therapist I have ever had and we made such progress with only a short time that I have been with her.
Professional lovely human who has helped me so much. Feels great to have someone with your best interests at heart and really listen. Highly recommend
I am pleased with Dr Parham’s professionalism. I feel comfortable to share and that she really listens and want to support me and help
She is awesome! She doesn't pressure me to speak of anything that may triggering, she allows me to guide myself!
What can I say, when I was paired with Dr. Parham, I was at one of the most darkest and scariest times of my life. I never truly tried therapy for myself, but I saw an Ad on instagram for Betterhelp and that was a sign telling me to try out therapy. Dr. Parham was such a helpful therapist in so many ways possible. She was always full of encouragement, very knowledgeable, made me feel valued and even gave me ways to help my anxiety outside of our session with different activities. I highly recommend her to anyone who is seeking therapy and trust her as well
I feel very comfortable and safe talking to Dr. Parham. She understands my concerns; with samples, talking through them, and litte homework, she makes me realize how positive changes improve my daily routine
Dr Parham is a compassionate listener and willing to really spend time and make you feel heard.
Very helpful, insightful, calm and easy to talk to. Provided numerous ways to feel better. Overall great helper!
Dr Parham is exactly what I have been looking for. Very compassionate and completely listens to all of my concerns. Stays in touch with me and offers various ways of communication. I would highly recommend Dr. Parham.
Carol has helped me be a better version of myself every week. She asks questions that are perceptive and always offers guidance and positive feedback on the way I navigate my career. She is a great listener and has 100% helped me change my perspective on many aspects of my work/home life. Thank you Carol!
Dr. Carol Parham is a kind, gentle soul with a great understanding of her field and client, she worked with me and never gave up even though my struggles were very deep seeded. She gave me many options and worked together in improving my mental health greatly.
She was a great therapist, explained why'd she’d want me to do something or explain a method of thinking really well. She made me feel heard and have an open space to heal. Very easy to talk to and just a good soul
Really helpful, I've only seen her for one session so far but I find Dr.Parham very supportive and a good listener. She comes up with a variety of ways I can tackle the issues I am facing.
Dr. Carol Parham is very intelligent, understanding and respectful. She knows how I feel without me having to say it, she always tries to help in various ways and succeeds. I'm grateful that I met her and I feel that I'm on my way to reaching my goals because of her. Thank you Dr. Parham, you're the best.
She is very resourceful, great to talk to, and gives out ideas and suggestions that end up helping me in the long run, albeit taking a while.
Dr. Parham somehow knows exactly what I need to hear. She is constantly checking in on me to see how I am doing and replies shortly after I write to her, She is amazing, I am so happy she is helping me.
She’s works at your paste and tries best to understand you. All in all I can she is one of the better ones out of the bunch
