Getting to know Carol Brusca

Carol Brusca, LMFT, is a seasoned Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with over 15 years of experience helping adults navigate complex emotional and behavioral challenges. Carol works with clients experiencing anxiety, trauma, depression, addiction, codependency, relationship struggles, and stress-related issues. She has extensive experience supporting survivors of domestic abuse, those navigating dual diagnoses, and individuals seeking personal growth through life's transitions. With a compassionate, practical approach, Carol integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) as the foundation of her work believing that reshaping unhelpful thoughts leads to meaningful and lasting change. She also incorporates mindfulness, DBT skills, Solution-Focused Therapy, and principles of neuroplasticity to support her clients in creating healthier thinking patterns and behaviors. Carol's therapeutic style is grounded in trust, collaboration, and empowerment. She creates a safe and affirming space for individuals from all backgrounds, including LGBTQ+ clients, veterans, BIPOC communities, trauma survivors, and those exploring non-traditional relationship structures. Her work is deeply informed by decades of experience with diverse populations, ranging from adolescents to individuals in their 90s. In her own words: One of my favorite things about being a therapist is joining people on their journey and helping them identify and achieve their goals. I love sharing tools that support lasting wellness. Outside of her sessions, Carol enjoys spending time outdoors, cooking, watching soccer, going to ballet class, and relaxing with her four dogs.
