Carole Kaufman is an independently licensed social worker in Ohio with 20 years of clinical experience. She combines seasoned clinical judgment with an approachable manner, creating a warm, trusting connection that supports work across a wide range of mental health concerns.

She recently retired from both a private practice and from a clinical role at the Cleveland Clinic, where she provided care in inpatient geriatric and adult psychiatry, and she is ready to resume offering counseling services to clients in need.

Carole has a specialty in maternal and child health and completed an intensive one-year postgraduate training program in cognitive behavioral therapy. She also uses solution-focused approaches and psychodynamic therapy techniques to tailor treatment to each person.

Her clinical interests and areas of focus include adjustment disorders, anxiety, mood disorders, issues of aging, sudden onset and chronic illness, separation and loss, parental guidance, and challenges faced by the “sandwich generation.” She also works with concerns such as stress, relationship issues, family conflicts, grief, depression, trauma and abuse, eating disorders, parenting issues, self-esteem, career difficulties, bipolar disorder, coping with life changes, and compassion fatigue.

As a licensed independent social worker who also serves as a clinical supervisor, Carole draws on two decades of experience to help clients navigate transitions and find practical, evidence-informed strategies for managing difficult situations.
