More about Carmen
- 3 years' experience
- Female
- LPC
My counseling style is warm and interactive. I believe in treating anyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and I don't believe in stigmatizing labels. I view counseling as a collaborative relationship in which the client and I work together to explore the current problematic issues and develop goals to address these issues. I specialize in treating depression, anxiety, behavioral issues and communication and relationships. I work with children, adults, teens, couples, and families of all backgrounds.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.
Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.

She’s awesome and very helpful.
Carmen is very thorough and is so down to earth! She helped me take a step back and face some problems I have with myself while also reminding me to be kind to myself in the process!
Carmen has been very patient and understanding when it comes to helping me deal with my mental baggage. She has been a source of encouragement, confidence, and inspiration to me throughout this journey to discover who I am and how I can be the best me I can possibly be. I can thank and recommend her enough. ;)
She is very kind, considerate, and keeps tabs on me whether I do a good job of responding myself.
Carmen is very kind and a great listener, and provides excellent insights and support when needed. She goes out of her way to make you feel comfortable and to relate in a meaningful way. Thanks, Carmen!!
Carmen is amazing. Her kind and caring demeanor make it incredibly easy to share information with her, and she always makes me feel supported. She has fantastic suggestions and homework that help me improve in areas of my life I am struggling with. Having been through therapy multiple times, Carmen is by far the most ifluential, helpful and compassionate counselor I have seen. I would highly recommend her to anyone
Ms. Kinzy is open minded, knowledgeable, professional and extremely helpful. She helps apply real world techniques to help with my issues. She listens, this is extremely important as I've had psych providers that haven't listened to me before and would just give me textbook advice. I highly recommend Ms. Kinzy.
Carmen is amazing!
She is amazing!
Thank you for sending me my angel Carmen. She has spoken so much life back into me and as affirmed me in so many positive ways. This blessing has allowed me to begin the process to “turn the corner” into my new beginning. I must say I love the practical exercises she makes me complete and we always close our sessions with my important take aways. Her non-judgemental demeanor makes it so easy for me to be transparent and talk to her. Carmen has truly been a breath of fresh air into my world and she helps me be a better woman, mother, daughter, sister, friend, associate, and colleague. Carmen should train everyone. :)
She is so warm, welcoming and motherly in a way that makes you feel safe and heard. I highly recommend you stick with her, she’s lovely truly.
I had no idea what to expect when I began counseling. I was nervous, afraid, and anxious. My first time interacting with Carmen helped ease those feelings. I truly believed she could help guide me and she certainly has. I always felt safe, comfortable, heard, and free from judgement. I can’t express enough how much working with her has improved my life in ways I never believed possible. If you are matched with Carmen you are about to begin work with a truly insightful person who will be there for you and help you rediscover your voice.
Kinzy is professional and knows how to take issues and make them into understandable, smaller bites. She cares about those she helps. She's kind and has helped me during very dark spots of my life.
She's amazing
Carmen is absolutely great and fabulous, I couldn’t have asked for someone else to work with. I am happy I got assigned to her as my counselor.
Carmen is caring, supportive, authentic, and cleverly grounded in tried and true methods that come off as casual and personal. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a person that wants the feel of a friend that always has the exact advice you need.
Absolutely wonderful! She's very kind, warm, and insightful. I enjoy working with her. She'll text you to check in on you which I really appreciate. I would recommend her to anyone and everyone.
She is very respectful and helpful
Carmen takes the time to listen. You feel heard and understood with her.
I have been working with Carmen for a few weeks now, and she has become a very trusted person to me. She is warm, compassionate, and has your best intentions at heart. I am truly lucky to know her
Carmen and I are still getting familiar with each other but, it’s been nice talking to her! Excited to learn and share more with her.
OMG! Carmen is absolutely wonderful. I actually really look forward to our conversations together and I couldn't have imagined how my life would have looked like without her help.
Carmen is awesome!
Thank you, Carmen. You’ve been so kind and helpful. I look forward to continuing with you.
I have only spoken with Carmen twice. So far I really appreciate her.
Carmen is easy to talk to. She will identify one main problem to work on for that week and gives you worksheets and advice. She doesn't make you feel obliged to follow it if you feel it's not working for you. She checks your progress. She is non-judgmental, she doesn't interrupt and listens. I changed counselors numerous times because many counselors took a long time to reply and I felt impatient so it was refreshing to see she replied to my first message very quickly and is usually very prompt with replying.
She was very helpful and carry. She was there to understand me which was what I needed the most! She is a great listener and advisor!
I trust Carmen, she deals with my with kindness and understanding.
Carmen is kind and has a sympathetic ear. She has listened and responded to me with understanding and support.
