Carolyn "Renae" Traywick

Carolyn "Renae" Traywick is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LCPC, LPC) with 13 years of clinical experience. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, anger, and life transitions. Carolyn writes plainly and listens closely to understand what feels most urgent for each person.

Her work includes supporting people with relationship concerns, parenting stress, grief, and challenges at work or school. She has spent the last decade working with students and teenagers around behavior challenges both inside and outside the classroom. This background informs how she supports motivation, self-esteem, and next steps.

Carolyn uses an individualized, client-centered approach. Sessions aim to be warm and empathetic, and she adapts methods to match a person's goals and preferences. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is one of the approaches she draws on to help change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns.

Her experience also covers ADHD, compassion fatigue, adoption and foster care issues, autism spectrum concerns, and problems related to isolation and life purpose. She works with overlapping issues, including co-morbidity and control-related problems, to create usable strategies for daily life.

People who choose her typically want practical tools and calm guidance. When someone is ready to begin, Carolyn asks a few questions to shape an initial plan and to set clear, achievable goals.

How Carolyn Uses CBT and Client-Centered Methods Online

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening closely and reflecting back what matters to the person. It helps people feel heard and clarifies goals before working on change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thinking and behavior and teaches concrete steps to interrupt unhelpful cycles. CBT can be useful for anxiety, anger, low motivation, and depression.

Choosing an approach is a shared process. Carolyn works with each person to figure out which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She adjusts the plan as progress is made and as priorities shift, aiming for practical strategies that can be tried between sessions.

Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It can also let people use tools like worksheets, behavioral experiments, and cognitive reframing exercises in their daily routine while discussing results in sessions.
