About Carolyn

Carolyn "Ashley" Wanyonyi is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Nevada. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, grief, parenting challenges, and concerns about self esteem. Carolyn writes straightforward treatment plans and focuses on practical progress that fits everyday life.

She brings 11 years of clinical experience to sessions and draws on approaches that center the person’s perspective. Conversations start with what matters most to the client, then move toward clear goals and small steps to get there. Carolyn describes herself as respectful, non-judgmental, and compassionate in her work.

Her practice includes support for people navigating life changes, caregiving stress, midlife transitions, mood disorders such as bipolar, and challenges tied to family dynamics. She has previously provided services in foster care and worked with families of medically fragile children, which informs how she assesses complex needs.

In session she uses techniques from Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, and Internal Family Systems to tailor plans to each person. That means sessions can include listening and reflection, skill-building for mood and anxiety, and focused strategies for immediate problems.

Carolyn speaks English and holds LCSW credentials in Nevada and Maine. She aims to help clients move toward clearer thinking, better coping, and more satisfying relationships through steady, practical steps.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on understanding each person's experience and reflecting it back so the client feels heard; this approach helps when someone needs a calm space to sort through feelings and priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) emphasizes identifying unhelpful thoughts and trying small behavior changes to reduce anxiety and depression; it is useful for stress, mood struggles, and obsessive thinking.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Carolyn will collaborate with clients to choose methods that match their goals and preferences. She listens to what matters most, then recommends techniques and adjusts the plan as progress is made.

Session formats are not specified here, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It can also let a person focus on skills practice between sessions and keep momentum on goal steps without reorganizing daily routines.
