About Carolyn
Carolyn "Renae" Traywick is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor and Licensed Professional Counselor with 13 years of experience. She practices in Texas and offers straightforward, empathetic care for people facing anxiety, stress, depression, and life transitions.
She focuses on practical steps that clients can use day to day. Sessions often center on coping skills for overwhelming feelings, improving motivation and self-esteem, and practical ways to manage work and career stress. She also addresses grief, intimacy-related concerns, anger, and issues that arise during major life changes.
Renae has spent a decade working with students and teenagers who had behavior challenges in and outside the classroom. That experience shaped her practical style and her focus on building skills that transfer to school, work, and home. She brings patience and a calm presence to conversations about parenting strain and young adult concerns.
Her work blends Client-Centered Therapy and cognitive behavioral techniques. That means she listens closely, then helps people test small changes and new habits that reduce distress. She tailors each plan to a person’s goals and preferences rather than using a one-size-fits-all method.
Additional topics she supports include adoption and foster care issues, ADHD, autism and Asperger syndrome, family problems, isolation or loneliness, and workplace difficulties. People who want to begin can expect a collaborative, practical approach aimed at clearer next steps.
How her approaches translate to online therapy
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and creating a warm, nonjudgmental space so people can talk through what matters most to them. It helps when someone needs empathy, reflection, and support to clarify goals.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and tests small changes to reduce symptoms. It is often used for anxiety, depression, stress, and motivation problems because it offers clear, practical exercises to try between sessions.
Choosing the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and how symptoms show up to decide which methods to prioritize. That collaborative process means plans can change as progress is made and new needs appear.
Confirm the available session formats before booking so you know what options are offered. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, shorten travel time, and let people attend from familiar surroundings. It also lets therapists assign short, practical exercises that fit into everyday routines and follow progress between meetings.
