Carolyn "Renae" Traywick, LCPC, LPC

Carolyn "Renae" Traywick is a Licensed Professional Counselor with 13 years of practice. She works from a practical, problem-solving stance and aims to make therapy straightforward and usable for everyday life.

Her main focus includes anxiety, depression, and stress that comes from work, school, or major life shifts. She also helps people who are grieving, dealing with relationship or intimacy concerns, or managing anger and low self-esteem. Parenting challenges, compassion fatigue, and ADHD-related issues are part of her regular work.

Renae tailors sessions to each person. She listens first to understand what matters most, then uses clear tools and steps people can try between sessions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is one approach she often uses to help change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. She pairs that with a client-centered style that keeps the person's goals at the center.

Her background includes a decade working with students and teenagers around behavior issues in and outside the classroom, and more recent work with adults facing career and workplace stress. She holds LCPC and LPC credentials in Texas and Nevada and draws on that experience when planning treatment.

Practical concerns matter in Renae's work. Sessions focus on small, measurable changes and on skills people can use right away. She supports each person's pace and priorities while helping them build coping strategies for real life.

How CBT and Client-Centered Care Work Online

Carolyn often combines Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and a client-centered approach when working online. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying thought and behavior patterns that cause distress and testing small changes to see what helps. It is useful for anxiety, depression, stress, and workplace or school-related struggles.

Client-Centered Therapy means the person sets the pace and goals while the therapist listens and reflects. This approach helps people feel heard and supports them in choosing practical steps that match their values and daily life.

Choosing the right approach is part of the collaborative process. The therapist will help figure out which methods fit best based on the person's goals, needs, and preferences. Together they will adjust techniques over time so the work stays relevant and helpful.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video lets people use visual cues for deeper conversation, phone calls work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat can be a quicker check-in, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to keep steady progress.
