About Carolyn

Carolyn "Renae" Traywick practices from a foundation of cognitive behavioral techniques paired with client-centered care, aiming to help people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and life transitions. She blends structured skills work with empathic, person-focused support so clients can build practical strategies while feeling heard and respected.

Background and approach

Carolyn brings 13 years of clinical experience and holds licensure as an LCPC in Nevada and an LPC in Texas, which inform her work across a range of concerns.

Over the past decade she has focused much of her time supporting students and teenagers with behavior challenges both inside and outside the classroom, while also working with adults on career difficulties, grief, relationship and intimacy issues, parenting concerns, and compassion fatigue.

Carolyn adapts interventions to each individual's goals, addressing problems such as low motivation, self-esteem struggles, ADHD-related challenges, and workplace or financial stress. Her practice emphasizes collaboration and practical tools to help clients navigate change and improve day-to-day functioning.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Carolyn combines cognitive behavioral strategies with a client-centered stance to guide online work. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns through practical exercises and skill building, which can help with anxiety, depression, stress, and motivation. Client-centered therapy emphasizes an empathic, nonjudgmental stance that supports self-exploration and personal growth while the client sets the pace and goals.

Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. Carolyn will work with each person to understand needs, preferences, and goals, and then tailor methods accordingly so clients know what to expect and can adjust the plan as progress unfolds.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility and accessibility. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, maintain continuity through life transitions, and select the format that feels most comfortable for the individual.
