About Carolyn

Carolyn Sultana is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 31 years of experience. She works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship struggles. Carolyn emphasizes respect and sensitivity in her work and aims to make the first steps into therapy feel manageable.

Her approach is practical and person-focused. Carolyn listens first, then tailors conversations and a plan to each person’s needs. She uses clear tools and simple strategies to help people handle panic, low mood, and difficulties that follow trauma or abuse.

Carolyn also helps with everyday concerns that often feel overwhelming. She supports people facing issues like abandonment, body image, control problems, and the isolation that can come with major life changes. She talks through communication habits, coping with guilt or shame, and decisions around separation or divorce.

She draws on several established methods to guide sessions, choosing techniques that fit each person rather than a one-size-fits-all plan. Carolyn encourages small, steady steps so progress is easier to keep up with between visits. She aims to help people rebuild confidence and notice practical changes in how they handle stress.

Carolyn practices in New York and conducts sessions in English. To begin, people use the Start Therapy button to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions based on therapist availability. The subscription used for sessions can be canceled at any time.

How Carolyn’s approaches work in online therapy

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding each person without judgment. It helps people feel heard and supports them in finding their own solutions to stress, loneliness, and relationship struggles.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It uses practical exercises to reduce panic, low mood, and unhelpful thinking patterns that make isolation and anxiety worse.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy, EFT, concentrates on emotions and how they shape close interactions. It can be useful for people who want clearer communication and better emotional connection in important relationships.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Carolyn will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals, comfort, and daily life. She adjusts the plan as progress is made so the work stays relevant and manageable.

Please confirm the current session options before booking since formats are not specified in the biography. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, avoid travel time, or use a shorter check-in when time is limited. Talk with the therapist about how to arrange sessions to fit your routine and needs.
