About Carolyn
Carolyn "Ashley" Wanyonyi is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 11 years of experience practicing in Nevada and Maine. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, depression, grief, parenting strain, and bipolar disorder. Sessions focus on concrete problems and practical next steps rather than abstract talk.
Ashley uses clear, evidence-informed approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and client-centered methods to help clients notice unhelpful thoughts and try different responses. She also draws on solution-focused ideas and Internal Family Systems when those approaches fit a person's goals. Conversations aim to identify what is getting in the way now and what small changes can be tried between sessions.
Her background includes work in foster care and with families supporting medically fragile children. That experience informs how she talks about caregiver stress, hospice and end-of-life concerns, and blended family or family-of-origin problems. She is familiar with issues around immigration, isolation, midlife transitions, and aging and geriatric matters.
Clients can expect practical tools for managing mood disorders, obsessions and compulsions, and communication problems. Ashley emphasizes skills practice, structured problem solving, and clearer patterns of thinking and behavior. She explains steps plainly and suggests exercises to use in day-to-day life.
To begin a working relationship, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. Payment varies by location and uses a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Carolyn "Ashley" Wanyonyi often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. CBT gives concrete exercises and brief experiments to try between sessions, which can make progress measurable and practical.She also uses client-centered methods that focus on listening and reflecting to clarify a person's concerns and goals. Solution-focused techniques are used to set short-term, achievable goals and notice small shifts that lead to larger changes.
Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work together. The therapist will collaborate with each person to pick approaches that match their goals, daily routines, and comfort with specific exercises. That means plans can change as progress is made or new needs appear.
The practical benefits of working online include fitting sessions into a busy schedule and reducing travel time. Confirm current session options before booking so you know which formats are offered. Online work can make it easier to try between-session exercises in real life and to check in briefly when a quick adjustment is helpful.
