Therapist

Virtual • South Carolina


I'm a South Carolina-based therapist who has spent my career working in university counseling and community mental health. I've sat with people across a wide range of life circumstances: college students navigating pressure and identity, adults working through trauma, family stress, or grief, teens figuring out who they are and how to be. I work with children, teens, and adults, and I bring the same direct, grounded energy to every session. Therapy with me isn't slow or vague. You'll leave with a clearer head and actual tools to use.

As a licensed mental health counselor, I believe mental health ties to many different aspects of our lives. Many people find it difficult to ask for help and I can see the difference when people make that first step. My goal is that people do not struggle alone and I am here to help. I work with adults of all ages but really enjoy working with couples and women who experience anxiety, depression, or PTSD.

Therapist

Virtual • South Carolina


Hi, I'm Carolyn. I've been working in the counseling field since the 90s — and after all this time, the one thing that hasn't changed is how I show up: I come to listen, not to lead. I work with adults, teens, seniors, and families dealing with anxiety, depression, trauma, PTSD, ADHD, grief, anger, and everything in between. I practice via telehealth, which means if you're anywhere in South Carolina, we can work together without you having to drive anywhere or rearrange your whole schedule. I believe you already have what it takes — my job is to help you access it.
