Mrs. Carolyn is an amazing woman. She reminds me so much of my grandmother and cares for me like I’m one of her own. She listens and gives me great advice and walks me through the toughest moments. I would strongly recommend her as your therapist!

More about Carolyn

  • 12 years' experience
  • Female
  • LPC

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with supervising privileges, and a licensed mental health provider with many areas of professional experience and personal experiences. I have extensive knowledge in working with minority populations. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, parenting problems, career challenges, and ADHD. I also helped many people who have experienced physical trauma or emotional abuse.

My therapy style is warm and interactive. I believe in treating anyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and I don't believe in stigmatizing labels. My approach combines cognitive-behavioral, humanistic, psychodynamic and rational-emotive therapy. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs.

It takes courage to seek a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards change. If you are ready to take that step, I am here to support and empower you.

I look forward to working with you!

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.

My first session with Mrs Carolyn went really well. She listened and helped me see things in a different light. I look forward to future sessions with her!

Dec 2022

Ms. Carolyn has been an amazing counselor. She is a greater listener and has empathy for the situation without any condescension. Carolyn helped me remember the tools for managing certain situations, and gave me new tactics and techniques for moving forward. She was exactly what I needed to work through some recent trauma that brought up old memories that were impacting current relationships. She helped me get past those and stabilize my relationships, as well as helping me find myself again. If I need to return in the future, I'm glad to know she will be available. I definitely recommend her for counseling.

Carolyn has been an extremely huge help in working through my limiting beliefs and past childhood trauma! She is attentive and she listens with love! Never judging and is so very patient, even when I can’t make some meeting times! She’s always so excited to hear the latest news and she truly cares. I’ve been able to build a strong trust and relationship over the last few months with her because she’s so giving and open to building a strong bond! This is my first time using better help and I’m grateful to have Carolyn as my therapist!
