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!

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.

Overall rating:
Carlyss has the knowledge and experience to help me navigate the troubled waters of life without sinking.
Carlyss is my favorite—she has taken the time to understand me as a person and she is the best to talk to! I look forward to every meeting :)
She is supportive and counsels with experience; she knows what I am feeling and is able to guide me through my mess!
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!
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.
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!
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
