She's worked extensively as a counselor for college freshmen, helping them navigate the challenges of campus life.
Her main focus is on boosting the self-esteem of teenage girls, particularly through her research on how different school environments affect their confidence and academic performance. Her findings, based on research in the Bay Area, shed light on the troublingly low self-esteem levels among 15-year-old girls.
In her book "Girl Talk: Boys, Bullies, and Body Image," Dr. Carol shares insights from interviews with teenage girls and introduces a practical system, R.A.I.S.E., aimed at building their confidence.
Beyond her writing, Dr. Carol maintains an active online presence, offering advice and resources on self-esteem through her blog (www.dr-carol.com) and social media channels.
