More about Carolyn

  • 3 years' experience
  • Female
  • LCSW

As a licensed therapist in California, I specialize in supporting individuals navigating complex emotional landscapes. My approach centers on compassionate, personalized care for those experiencing stress, anxiety, trauma, grief, and challenges with self-esteem. I'm particularly passionate about helping clients work through social anxiety, communication difficulties, isolation, and life purpose exploration.

My therapeutic practice creates a safe, affirming space for individuals from diverse backgrounds, with a deep commitment to understanding each person's unique journey. I offer specialized support for women, caregivers, those experiencing mood disorders, and individuals processing complex emotional experiences like attachment issues, guilt, and shame.

Drawing from evidence-based practices, I help clients develop resilience, self-love, and effective coping strategies. Whether you're struggling with panic attacks, processing traumatic experiences, or seeking personal growth, I'm dedicated to walking alongside you with empathy and professional expertise.

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.
