About Carolyn

Carolyn "Ashley" Wanyonyi is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Nevada. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, depression, and major life changes. She also supports those dealing with grief, caregiving strain, and challenges around parenting and self-esteem.

Ashley draws on approaches that center the person in the room and focus on practical steps. She listens without judgment and works with each person to build a plan that fits their situation. Conversations are shaped by the client's goals and paced to match readiness for change.

Her background includes over 11 years of experience across multiple care settings. That experience includes work with foster care, families of medically fragile children, and people navigating serious health and end-of-life concerns. She has helped clients facing mood disorders, obsessive thoughts, and complex family dynamics.

Ashley blends Client-Centered Therapy with tools from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy. She also uses Internal Family Systems ideas to help people understand internal parts and patterns. The emphasis is on clear strategies people can try between sessions and on learning new ways to cope.

If someone is ready to explore change, she supports them in taking those first steps. The process is collaborative and practical, with attention to what matters most to each person. Prospective clients should confirm current session options before booking.

How her approaches fit into online therapy

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on respectful listening and placing the person's goals at the center. It helps when someone needs a supportive space to figure out priorities and make changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches practical skills to notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which is useful for anxiety, depression, and stress.

Choosing an approach is part of the work together. The therapist will collaborate with each person to try methods that match their goals and preferences. Over time they may combine approaches or adjust techniques based on what is most helpful.

Session logistics are not specified here, so confirm the available online formats before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel, and allow check-ins during a lunch break or between errands. Some formats are better for a shorter check-in while others suit longer, interactive work; the therapist will help select what fits a client's schedule and needs.
