Carol Cohn

Carol Cohn is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) in California who focuses on anger alongside related concerns like relationship problems, grief, low self-esteem, depression, and coping with life changes. She brings 25 years of experience to her work and emphasizes practical steps that help people manage strong emotions. She speaks English and practices in California.

Carol frames clients as the experts on their own lives. She listens for strengths and uses them to make change feel doable. Sessions aim to turn painful patterns into clearer choices so people can move forward with less reactivity and more control over their responses.

In therapy she helps people talk through relationship and intimacy issues, work through trauma and abuse, and address substance and process-related concerns such as gambling or pornography. She also supports people dealing with career strain, parenting stress, sleeping and eating problems, and life transitions like divorce or midlife shifts.

Her background includes long experience helping people cope with chronic concerns such as bipolar disorder, obsessions and compulsions, and veteran-related issues. She also assists with end-of-life topics like hospice and bereavement and with family of origin issues that keep repeating across generations.

Carol’s approach is straightforward and collaborative. She focuses on what will make daily life better and builds small skills that add up over time.

Approaches that help manage anger and related concerns

Carol uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide work on anger, relationships, and mood. One approach focuses on identifying triggers and teaching practical emotion regulation skills so people can respond rather than react; this helps with anger, anxiety, and impulsive behavior. Another approach emphasizes improving communication and intimacy skills in relationships, teaching clearer expression of needs and boundaries to reduce conflict and build connection.

Finding the right combination of approaches is part of the process. Carol works collaboratively with each person to choose methods that match their goals and daily life. She checks in regularly and adjusts techniques so the work feels useful and realistic rather than one-size-fits-all.
