About Carolyn
Carolyn "Renae" Traywick is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) and Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 13 years of experience. She works with teens and adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, and the daily strain of parenting and career pressures. Carolyn is based in Texas and brings a calm, warm approach to sessions.
She builds a welcoming space where people can talk through what feels most urgent. Sessions focus on practical steps and clear goals rather than medical labels.
Background and approach
Clients often work on improving motivation, managing intense emotions, and coping with life changes like grief or workplace stress. Carolyn draws on client-centered methods that prioritize each person’s values and pace. She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help identify unhelpful thought patterns and try different behaviors.
Treatment plans are shaped around what the person wants to change and how they prefer to work. Her background includes a decade supporting students and teenagers with behavioral challenges in and out of classrooms. That experience informs a down-to-earth style with straightforward tools parents and young adults can use.
Carolyn also has experience addressing adoption and foster care, autism and Asperger syndrome, and co-morbid mental health concerns. In session, she focuses on realistic strategies for daily life: managing anger, improving self-esteem, navigating relationship strain, and addressing ADHD-related struggles. People looking for a practical, empathetic therapist will find sessions that emphasize collaboration and small, achievable steps.
How Carolyn's approaches work online
Carolyn uses client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy to guide online sessions in straightforward ways. Client-centered therapy means the conversation stays focused on the person's values and goals; the therapist listens and follows the person's pace, helping them name what matters and decide next steps. Cognitive behavioral therapy helps people identify patterns of thought that keep problems going and practice different behaviors to test change in daily life.Choosing the right approach is a shared process. Carolyn will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they decide whether to prioritize emotionally focused listening, practical CBT exercises, or a mix of both, and they adjust as progress is made.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video sessions are useful for deeper conversations and visual cues, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat can help with quick check-ins, and text messaging supports brief updates and reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, school, or family routines.
