About Carolyn
Carolyn Sultana is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in New York with 31 years of experience. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, self-esteem struggles, and depression. Carolyn speaks English and works from a clinical perspective that includes Cognitive Behavioral Therapy among other approaches.
She uses straightforward conversation to identify patterns that keep problems going. That often means noticing unhelpful thoughts, testing them against reality, and trying small behavioral changes. Carolyn also draws on client-centered methods to prioritize the person's own goals and pacing during sessions.
Her background spans many kinds of emotional concerns, including panic attacks, post-traumatic stress, mood disorders, and issues around abandonment, body image, guilt, and shame. She also addresses relationship stressors such as communication problems, control issues, divorce and separation, and feelings of isolation.
Sessions focus on practical steps and clear options. Carolyn will work with each person to set short-term goals and track progress week to week. She describes therapy as a collaborative process where people try new strategies and adjust what isn't working.
For people thinking about starting, the first step is a brief matching questionnaire and then scheduling an initial session. Cost varies by location and therapy uses a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.
How Carolyn integrates CBT, client-centered work, and EFT online
Carolyn uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot and change unhelpful thoughts and habits. CBT sessions often include clear exercises, thought records, and small behavioral experiments to practice between meetings. Client-centered therapy gives the person space to set goals and guide the pace, focusing on what matters most to them. Emotionally-Focused Therapy addresses underlying emotions in relationship or attachment concerns, helping people name emotions and try new ways of responding.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work together. Carolyn will discuss options, listen to the client's priorities, and adjust methods based on needs and preferences. This is a collaborative process where techniques are tried and refined rather than fixed in advance.

Talk with the therapist during the initial questionnaire to clarify which session formats are offered and which will best fit daily life.
