Carol Mckenna

Carol Mckenna

Braintree, MA
Psychologist, PHD
Carol McKenna, PhD, is a dedicated clinical psychologist who specializes in health psychology. She empowers her clients to manage stress, chronic medical conditions, neurologic disorders, and pain, as well as general health issues. Her therapeutic approach is rooted in a biopsychosocial framework, taking into account the biological, psychological, and social influences on one's overall functioning and adjustment. Utilizing cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), she helps individuals uncover and challenge the underlying beliefs contributing to unhealthy thought patterns. By restructuring these thoughts, clients cultivate more realistic and healthier beliefs. Carol's treatment methods are both problem-focused and goal-oriented, backed by research proving their effectiveness. Beyond health psychology, she supports individuals facing challenges such as depression, anxiety (including panic and obsessive-compulsive symptoms), and PTSD. Additionally, Carol teaches anger management and general coping skills to help clients navigate relationship issues, parenting challenges, and life transitions.
