More about Carolyn

  • 11 years' experience
  • Female
  • LCSW

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Masters Certified Addiction Professional licensed in Florida with over 10 years of experience working as a Mental Health and Substance Abuse counselor. Subsequently, I have also been the Manager of several programs providing outpatient and residential treatment settings. I am certified in Accelerated Resolution Therapy for trauma along with Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. I have worked with a wide range of concerns including Substance Abuse/ Misuse, depression, anxiety, relationship issues, career challenges, family issues, ADHD, Bi-Polar Disorder, Trauma, Physical Trauma, Emotional Trauma and severe and pervasive mental health such as Schizophrenia and personality diagnoses.

My counseling style is client-centered, warm, interactive and empathic. I believe that everyone deserves to be treated with dignity and respect. Individuals are not defined by their circumstances, situations and/ or diagnoses and I believe that health, wellness and recovery are possible. My approach is tailored to the specific needs and goals of my clients.

It takes a lot of insight and courage to decide to reach out for help. Change can be overwhelming and terrifying, but you deserve the opportunity to pursue your health and wellness. It would be a privilege to work alongside of you to assist you on your journey and provide tools to help you be successful.

I look forward to the privilege and opportunity to work with you.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.

Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
