Carolyn has been such a wonderful human to work with. She has so much patience, she has a real, unfiltered perspective, and she does everything she can to help her clients. I really appreciate how she keeps a notebook about my progress and is constantly referring to it throughout our journey together. She also goes above and beyond to reply to my journal entries and communicate with me via messaging. Highly recommend!

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.

Carolyn gives me so much space to both air out my concerns but also to find laughter in some of the pain. I also really enjoy the book reconnections she gives me. I really appreciate the playfulness and the lightheartedness of her therapy sessions. I absolutely love her!
