She’s great and understanding what’s going on. She will say oh I don’t understand that. Can you let me know what that is. And if you’re comfortable with explaining things to other people, it’s wonderful.

More about Carolyn
- 12 years' experience
- Female
- LPC
My name is Carolyn Durham. I am a licensed professional counselor with over 12 years experience. I am a graduate of Texas A&M University where I received my bachelor of science degree and social work certification. I then completed my graduate work at The University of Houston, Clear Lake where I earned my Master of Science degree in Counseling, and shortly thereafter, my professional counseling license.
I have worked with a variety of clients over my career who have included individuals and families coping with change, anxiety, and depression. I have worked in the medical field for over 10 of those years and have counseled people struggling with acute and chronic medical illnesses such as cancer, stroke, transplant and more.
I also have experience teaching in the public schools and college level. I understand the challenges these environments pose for both students and parents.
I believe my approach to counseling is to provide you with a safe and empathic environment which allows us, together, to explore areas of concern. I I look forward to working with individuals who are experiencing difficulty with any of these issues.

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.

Love Carolyn
Very thoughtful and knows how to speak and listen to me.
No complaints I can relate to her and she has helped guide me on a good path
Carolyn has been so great helping me navigate my different life struggles and anxiety.
Carolyn is amazing, very understanding and always on point when I need advice.
I’ve been working with Carolyn for a few months and she has helped me so so much. She is so caring, patient, sweet and really takes the time to understand you and work with you to improve!
We have only had two sessions but she has been great so far and makes me feel heard.
She has been so supportive. I have been going through alot in life right now. She listens and provides ideas, but never forces me to do something I am not comfortable with.
I have had only two sessions with her, but wow it must be difficult with the barriers of time and video. She overcomes them with high personal engagement and listening. I am confident in her ability to get results and i do feel relief. She messaged back quickly at the beginning of me reaching out for help. Very professional and relatable. I look forward to our sessions and I am fan of Betterhelp app.
Great help, she was super attentive to my feelings. I got everything I needed from therapy and walked away with better coping skills and mechanisms.
So far so good! I feel comfortable sharing my thoughts and feelings. She understands the frustrations I have and will not push me to do something I am not ready for.
Carolyn has helped me work through and process multiple topics and issues all within the short time I’ve been with her. I’ve gotten help processing grief, exploring my sexuality, and trauma from the past. She’s very sweet, empathetic, and easy to talk to. I highly recommend therapy with Carolyn.
After knowing her for a very short time I feel comfortable to meet with her for our sessions. I appreciate how genuine she is and how easy it is to get along with her. I wouldn’t want anyone else as my therapist!
