About Carolyn

Carolyn Moore is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Arizona with 23 years of experience as a psychotherapist. She focuses on helping people who have faced trauma, loss, stress, anxiety, and major life changes. Her work centers on listening closely and building a steady therapeutic relationship.

She often supports survivors of physical, sexual, verbal, or emotional abuse and people coping with grief and loss. She also helps those dealing with workplace stress, relationship concerns, parenting strain, and challenges around self-esteem. Carolyn pays attention to each person’s story and immediate needs before planning next steps.

Carolyn uses a client-centered approach, which means she follows the person’s lead and creates space for their goals. She also draws on cognitive behavioral methods to help identify unhelpful thinking patterns and on trauma-focused techniques, including eye movement desensitization and reprocessing, when trauma processing is needed. She chooses tools that match what the person wants to work on.

Her style is caring, respectful, and interactive. Sessions focus on practical coping skills, processing difficult memories at a manageable pace, and strengthening emotional resources. Carolyn works with each person to set clear, realistic goals and checks in about progress.

People who reach out can expect a steady, team-based approach that centers their safety and strengths. Carolyn invites prospective clients to describe their concerns so she can recommend a path forward that fits their life and goals.

How these approaches work for online therapy

Carolyn uses Client-Centered Therapy to center the person’s experience. That means sessions focus on listening, empathic reflection, and helping clients set their own goals. This approach helps when someone needs a steady, supportive space to talk through difficult feelings and decisions.

She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people notice and change unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors. CBT offers clear, practical tools for anxiety, stress, mood shifts, and work-related challenges. When trauma is central, Carolyn draws on Trauma-Focused Therapy and may include EMDR to help process traumatic memories in a paced way.

Finding the right approach is a team effort. Carolyn will talk with each person about their history, current needs, and what they hope to change. Together they decide which methods to try first and adjust plans as progress is made.

If you are considering online sessions, confirm the current session options before booking since formats are not listed here. In general, online work can make scheduling easier, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when a full session isn’t needed. It can also let someone engage from a quieter spot, use less bandwidth, or fit sessions into a busy day. Discuss practical preferences during the matching process so sessions match your routine and goals.
