More about Carmen

  • 3 years' experience
  • Female
  • LPC

My counseling style is warm and interactive. I believe in treating anyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and I don't believe in stigmatizing labels. I view counseling as a collaborative relationship in which the client and I work together to explore the current problematic issues and develop goals to address these issues. I specialize in treating depression, anxiety, behavioral issues and communication and relationships. I work with children, adults, teens, couples, and families of all backgrounds.

About online counseling

Affordable.
Pay a low flat fee.
Convenient.
Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
Available now.
There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Carmen is amazing. Her kind and caring demeanor make it incredibly easy to share information with her, and she always makes me feel supported. She has fantastic suggestions and homework that help me improve in areas of my life I am struggling with. Having been through therapy multiple times, Carmen is by far the most ifluential, helpful and compassionate counselor I have seen. I would highly recommend her to anyone

Ms. Kinzy is open minded, knowledgeable, professional and extremely helpful. She helps apply real world techniques to help with my issues. She listens, this is extremely important as I've had psych providers that haven't listened to me before and would just give me textbook advice. I highly recommend Ms. Kinzy.

Thank you for sending me my angel Carmen. She has spoken so much life back into me and as affirmed me in so many positive ways. This blessing has allowed me to begin the process to “turn the corner” into my new beginning. I must say I love the practical exercises she makes me complete and we always close our sessions with my important take aways. Her non-judgemental demeanor makes it so easy for me to be transparent and talk to her. Carmen has truly been a breath of fresh air into my world and she helps me be a better woman, mother, daughter, sister, friend, associate, and colleague. Carmen should train everyone. :)

She is so warm, welcoming and motherly in a way that makes you feel safe and heard. I highly recommend you stick with her, she’s lovely truly.

Reviewed March 2021

I had no idea what to expect when I began counseling. I was nervous, afraid, and anxious. My first time interacting with Carmen helped ease those feelings. I truly believed she could help guide me and she certainly has. I always felt safe, comfortable, heard, and free from judgement. I can’t express enough how much working with her has improved my life in ways I never believed possible. If you are matched with Carmen you are about to begin work with a truly insightful person who will be there for you and help you rediscover your voice.

I have only spoken with Carmen twice. So far I really appreciate her.

Reviewed May 2020

Carmen is easy to talk to. She will identify one main problem to work on for that week and gives you worksheets and advice. She doesn't make you feel obliged to follow it if you feel it's not working for you. She checks your progress. She is non-judgmental, she doesn't interrupt and listens. I changed counselors numerous times because many counselors took a long time to reply and I felt impatient so it was refreshing to see she replied to my first message very quickly and is usually very prompt with replying.
