Carolyn "Renae" Traywick, LCPC, LPC

Carolyn "Renae" Traywick is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor and Licensed Professional Counselor with 13 years of clinical experience. She focuses on helping people navigate stress and anxiety as well as related concerns like depression and parenting struggles. Her style is warm and empathetic, aimed at making difficult topics easier to talk about.

She has spent a decade working with students and teens who had behavior challenges both in and outside of the classroom. That experience shaped how she supports people facing workplace strain, school-related stress, and transitions in young adulthood. She also has practice addressing grief, low motivation, and low self-esteem.

Her work adapts to each person's needs and goals. She draws from Client-Centered Therapy to create an accepting conversation where the person's point of view guides the pace. She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help identify thought and behavior patterns that keep stress and anxiety going.

Sessions focus on practical steps that fit daily life. That can include short-term strategies for reducing overwhelm, problem-solving around career or family pressures, and building skills for stronger self-worth. Carolyn aims to help people notice small changes that add up over time.

People who reach out can expect a straightforward, nonjudgmental approach and support in setting clear, achievable goals. She invites anyone ready to begin the process to take the first step toward change.

How her approaches shape online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting the person's own goals back to them. This approach helps people feel heard and directs the pace of work based on individual needs. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical strategies to reduce anxiety and manage stress.

Choosing the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will collaborate with the person to decide which methods match their goals and comfort level. That means checking in about what feels helpful and adjusting the plan as work progresses.

Confirm current session options before booking because formats were not specified in the profile. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life by removing travel time and allowing brief check-ins when needed. It can also help people keep consistent momentum during life transitions and manage school or work schedules more easily. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises and homework to online formats so progress continues between meetings.
