About Carolyn

Carolyn Sultana is a licensed clinical social worker in New York who practices with an emphasis on person-centered care. She uses a warm, respectful style to help people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, trauma, low self-esteem, and depression. Carolyn’s approach centers on listening and shaping treatment around each person’s needs.

She has more than three decades of practice experience and draws on that background to guide conversations and decisions in sessions. Carolyn combines Client-Centered Therapy with elements of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Emotionally-Focused Therapy to address thoughts, feelings, and interaction patterns. She explains options clearly and helps people choose approaches that make sense for their situation.

Carolyn works with a range of concerns that include abandonment, body image, communication problems, control issues, divorce and separation, and parenting transitions like pregnancy and childbirth. She also supports people coping with guilt, shame, impulsivity, loneliness, and questions about life purpose. Carolyn pays attention to mood disorders, panic symptoms, PTSD, and difficulties tied to relationships with narcissistic partners.

Her sessions focus on practical steps that people can try between meetings. She adapts the pace to each person, offering structured tools from CBT when helpful and using emotionally-focused work to repair and strengthen attachment patterns. Carolyn encourages small changes that build toward clearer communication and healthier mood over time.

How Carolyn’s Approaches Translate to Online Therapy

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, empathy, and shaping sessions around what matters most to the client. It helps people feel heard and involved in decisions about their care. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, targets unhelpful thoughts and teaches practical skills to change patterns of worry, panic, and low mood.

Choosing the right approach is a shared process. Carolyn will work with each person to clarify goals and try methods that fit their situation. That might mean using CBT tools for anxiety one week and more emotionally-focused conversation the next. The plan evolves based on what is helpful and realistic for the person’s life.

The original profile does not list specific online session formats, so please confirm the available options before booking. In general, online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when that suits a person’s day. It can also let people use quieter surroundings or phone-only sessions when video is not needed. Carolyn aims to adapt her approaches so therapy can fit into everyday life while focusing on clear goals and practical next steps.
