About Carolyn
Carolyn Mullas is a licensed counselor with 20 years of experience helping people work through stress, anxiety, trauma, depression, and ADHD symptoms. She holds LCPC and LPC credentials and is based in Michigan. Carolyn speaks English and approaches each person with respect for their own story and strengths.
She believes clients know their lives best and uses that knowledge as a starting point. Sessions focus on practical steps to improve concentration, memory, motivation, and confidence. Carolyn helps people name what is hardest and then try small, manageable changes that build momentum.
Her work often addresses the emotional impact of adoption and foster care among other life challenges. She listens for patterns that come from family of origin issues, control struggles, or feelings of guilt and shame. From there she supports people in finding new ways to cope and relate to themselves and others.
Carolyn draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address trauma, panic attacks, mood problems, and impulsivity. She aims to create a steady pace so clients can practice skills between sessions. The goal is clearer thinking, fewer overwhelming moments, and stronger problem-solving skills.
People who choose Carolyn typically want practical support and a respectful partner in therapy. To begin, a short matching questionnaire and scheduling step are used to connect with her. Sessions use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.
