About Carolyn

Carolyn Westgate, LCPC (Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor), brings more than two decades of experience helping people navigate life’s challenges. She works with a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship issues, depression, ADHD, family and trauma-related difficulties, grief, parenting struggles, anger, self-esteem, career questions, and related areas of concern.

She prioritizes a nonjudgmental, empathetic, and accepting environment where clients can feel heard and respected. Carolyn individualizes treatment plans by drawing from evidence-informed approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, and Trauma-Focused Therapy to match interventions to each person’s needs.

Committed to ongoing learning, she actively researches resources and approaches to expand the options available to clients. If the therapeutic relationship does not feel like the right fit, she considers it part of her role to help a client find a better match with another provider.

Recognizing that beginning therapy takes courage, Carolyn listens with respect and compassion and partners with clients to work toward their goals with clarity and practical support.

Therapeutic Approaches Applied to Online Care

Carolyn Westgate integrates several practical approaches to support clients in an online setting. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns; it is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress-related concerns. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people accept difficult feelings while clarifying personal values and taking committed action toward a meaningful life - it can be especially useful for anxiety, mood challenges, and chronic stress. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy, active listening, and collaboration, providing a respectful, client-led space to explore relationships, self-esteem, and life transitions.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Carolyn works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting strategies as progress unfolds. This collaborative stance helps ensure treatment feels relevant and practical.

Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options allow clients to engage from home or other convenient locations, fit sessions into busy schedules, and maintain continuity of care when in-person visits are not possible. Licensed professionals can adapt these formats to deliver thoughtful, evidence-informed support tailored to each client’s situation.
