About Carolyn
Carolyn "Renae" Traywick is a Licensed Professional Counselor with 13 years of clinical experience. She practices in Texas and brings a calm, empathetic style that helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and life transitions.
Renae has extensive work with teenagers and students, spending about a decade addressing behavior challenges inside and outside the classroom. She also supports adults facing career strain, grief, parenting challenges, low motivation, and self-esteem concerns.
Her way of working centers on listening first. Sessions are guided by what each person needs, using the client's goals and preferences to shape the plan. She combines Client-Centered Therapy with practical strategies drawn from cognitive behavioral approaches.
In a session she helps people name the problem, notice unhelpful thinking or habits, and try small, manageable changes. She aims to create a warm and understanding environment where people can talk through what feels hard.
Renae also has experience with adoption and foster care issues, autism and Asperger syndrome, co-morbidity, intellectual disability, and young adult concerns. She addresses workplace stress, money worries, seasonal mood changes, isolation, and compassion fatigue as part of her broader practice.
Reaching out for help can feel difficult. When someone is ready, she guides them through a short intake and then works with them to set clear steps toward the goals they name.
How her approaches translate to online care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to each person's experience. It emphasizes empathy, acceptance, and letting the client's goals guide the work, which can help with relationship issues, self-esteem, and grief. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts and actions affect mood and behavior and uses simple, practical techniques to try different responses to old patterns. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, stress, and workplace or school concerns.Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. The therapist works collaboratively to choose methods that fit the person's goals, needs, and preferences. She will check in and adjust techniques as progress is made so the work stays useful and relevant.
Specific session formats are not listed here, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Some formats may be better for quicker problem-focused work, while others allow longer, deeper conversations. Discussing preferences during the match and scheduling process helps decide what will work best.
