About Carolyn
Carolyn Sultana is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) with 31 years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, and depression. Carolyn uses straightforward conversation and practical tools to help people make change.
She draws on client-centered therapy to build a respectful, collaborative space. That means the work follows each person’s pace and priorities. She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy, which helps identify unhelpful thought patterns and try new behaviors in everyday life.
How Carolyn works
Emotionally-Focused Therapy is another approach Carolyn uses when relationships or attachment feelings are central. This helps people understand and shift emotional patterns that keep them stuck. Together these approaches support clearer communication and stronger coping skills.
Carolyn has worked for three decades in clinical settings and brings that experience to each session. She focuses on real concerns like panic attacks, mood disorders, body image, guilt and shame, and the fallout from divorce or separation. Sessions aim to create small, manageable steps toward better functioning.
She tailors conversation and treatment plans to each person’s needs. Signing up can feel hard, and Carolyn acknowledges that first step. She helps clients move forward with respect, sensitivity, and steady guidance.

How Carolyn’s Approaches Work Online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following the client’s lead. Online sessions use that same respectful, person-led approach to set goals and pace the work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors; it translates well to remote sessions with structured exercises and between-session practice. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) centers on emotions and attachment patterns and can be used in individual work to notice emotional responses and practice new ways of relating.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Carolyn will work collaboratively to figure out which methods suit a person’s needs, goals, and preferences. She adjusts techniques as progress is made so the plan fits the client's life and priorities.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect: video calls for face-to-face work, phone sessions when bandwidth is limited, live chat for shorter check-ins, and text-based messaging for ongoing support. These options make it easier to fit sessions into a busy day, maintain momentum between meetings, and choose formats that match comfort and practical needs.
