More about Carlyss

  • LPCC

Hi! I am a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor in the state of North Dakota with over 16 years of experience working as a psychotherapist/clinician. I earned my Masters Degree in Counseling at North Dakota State University. I have helped a variety of clients with a variety of concerns including depression, anxiety, phobias, panic disorder, codependency, relationship issues, parenting and co-parenting problems, career challenges and overwhelm, OCD, bipolar disorder, personality disorders, trauma, abuse, experiencing divorce, and ADHD.

My therapeutic style is non-judgmental, patient, compassionate, and open to anything that is "on your mind." I believe in treating every person with respect, sensitivity, and unconditional positive regard. My approach combines cognitive-behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, trauma therapy, narrative therapy, solution-focused therapy, and acceptance and commitment therapy. I have the ability to individualize your sessions and treatment plan to meet your specific needs and goals.

I have experience working with children, adolescents, adults and geriatric clients. I have a special interest in survivors of abuse/domestic violence, divorce, grief, trauma, and codependency. I am very open-minded and embrace diversity.

I am very proud of you for taking the first step toward a healthy life. I would be honored to walk with you on your journey to wellness. I am committed to excellence in client care! 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.

Carlyss is the absolute best and I look forward to our sessions so much! She’s very easy to talk and open up to, and she is great at identifying the issues associated with things I am going through. I would highly recommend Carlyss to anyone!

Reviewed November 2022

I feel like I could bare my soul to her and she would manage to find all the best parts about me and hold them up as an example of why I should love myself more. She has been instrumental in restoring my self-confidence and self-worth.

Reviewed September 2022

Carlyss goes the extra mile and beyond! I feel like she is the person I have needed to talk to right at this time. She is patient with my interruptions, rabbit trails, and my squirrel moments, but somehow manages to get me back on topic again. Highly recommended!

Reviewed May 2022

Carlyss has very good insight and even though I have only scheduled one session with her, she responds quickly to my journal entries, and has been very direct but compassionate in her responses. I would highly recommend her to any of my friends and family
