More about Carolyn
- 26 years' experience

- LPC
I am credentialed in South Carolina as a Licensed Professional Counselor, with 26 years of experience. I hold a Master's in Counseling from the Citadel Graduate College in Charleston, SC. My career has encompassed working with individuals, couples and parents (married and single) who wish to foster positive relationships with each other and their children. I also have direct experience as a counselor working in educational settings assisting parents as they negotiate the educational challenges of their children, such as learning difficulties, medical diagnoses, IEP development, and 504 plans. I specialize in helping parents fine-tune their parenting skills and thereby create opportunities to establish a healthier and happier family life for all. My experience includes helping clients solve family conflicts, maintain communication, cope with daily pressures and goal-setting. I offer my clients an opportunity to express their thoughts and feelings in a calm, safe setting where they feel supported. Taking the first step to seeking a more fulfilling and happier life takes courage. I am ready to help you on your way as you reclaim your own life and that of your family, too.

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.
