Dr. Carroll is former Program Director of the Mental Health Counseling (COEHS) and the Counseling Psychology programs (COAS). She has taught a number of courses in counseling and psychology including Psychopathology, Ethics, Research, Theories of Counseling, Multicultural Counseling, Introduction to Family Counseling, Advanced Counseling, Practicum and Internship. In 2008, Dr. Carroll was selected for the UNF Outstanding Graduate Faculty Teaching Award. Prior to joining the faculty at UNF, Dr. Carroll practiced as a licensed psychologist in a private practice setting in Maryland for five years and as a counselor in community agencies and university settings in Pennsylvania and elsewhere.
Dr. Carroll's book, entitled Counseling Sexual and Gender Minorities, was published by Pearson in 2010. It has subsequently been adopted for use as a course textbook in several counseling, counseling psychology and social work programs throughout the United States including: University of California at Davis, University of Denver, University of North Carolina at Pembroke, St. Johns University, University of Arkansas at Fayetteville. Counseling Today described her book as “an impressive and important text,” and “strongly recommended (Hoover, March, 2010). A review in the Journal of LGBT Issues in Counseling described her text "as a tremendous resource for practitioners who have already completed their training, but who have come to discover that they are inadequately trained in the specific counseling needs of sexual and gender minority clients" (Lazaroff, 2011; p. 151). Her text is also cited in the 2009 transgender competency standards issued the Association for Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender Issues in Counseling (ALGBTIC), a division of the American Counseling Association.
Dr. Carroll is author of 26 articles in refereed, counseling and related psychology journals including: Journal of Counseling and Development; Professional Psychology: Research and Practice; Counselor Education; Adolescence, and Women & Therapy. Her most recent article, "How do U.S. undergraduates perceive gender variant persons?" will appear in a forthcoming edition of the journal, Sex Roles.
Dr. Carroll has co-authored several book chapters and presented over 50 papers and posters on diverse topics at the annual meetings of several national professional organizations including: American Psychological Association, the American Association of Counseling and Development, American College Personnel Association, and the Association for Women in Psychology.
She has served on the editorial boards the Journal of Counseling and Development and the Journal of Mental Health Counseling. Dr. Carroll currently serves as an ad hoc reviewer for Psychology of Women Quarterly, Sex Roles, Canadian Journal of Behavioral Science and Personality and Individual Differences, and the Journal of Men and Masculinities.
Locally, she currently serves as Chair of the LGBT Elders Task Force of Northeast Florida. This city-wide Task Force is now working jointly with ElderSource, an Area Agency on Aging for Northeast Florida covering Baker, Clay, Duval, Flagler, Nassau, St. Johns and Volusia counties.
