More about me

Licensing: MS, LPC Years in Practice: 11 State: Georgia

My name is Carolyn Elaine Smith. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) licensed in the state of Georgia with 11 years of experience. My theoretical approach includes a Client-centered base along with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Motivational Interviewing. These modalities have worked together to help clients uproot hidden issues that may be causing irrational thinking and behavioral problems. My mission is to educate clients as well as counsel clients on how to live a more quality life and to learn how to identify triggers and use coping mechanisms to manage problems on their own. I have worked with clients experiencing depression, low self-esteem, grief and suffering, terminal illness diagnoses, and relationship issues. I believe in God and the power of prayer for whole-person recovery. However, my religious beliefs are only shared when requested by the client. I respect and empower clients to identify a support system including myself to help them reach their identified goals.

About online counseling

Online counseling allows you to receive care from an online mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Overall

Carolyn is a wonderful, God-ordained counselor. Her invitation to pray at the beginning of the session and end of the session, inviting God to lead her in counseling is very welcoming and needed, and I'm grateful she does this. You leave her sessions better than when you entered them, with a powerful connection to the Holy Spirit. I value and highly recommend, Carolyn! Thank you for your service and for all that you do!

Carolyn Smith is a kind soul. Her concern for me exceeds the dedicated time in session. It is always obvious that she has been giving much thought to me and my situation long after the session ends. She listens to understand, and she understands she needs to listen. I always feel heard and respected and never judged. My entire family benefits from the service she provides to me.

Carolyn Smith was definitely sent by God to counsel me. I feel she can parse out what I'm trying to say no matter how badly I present my issues to her. She is a great listener and her voice is equally as calming as her spirit. I feel she is using her God given gift to the utmost.

Overall

Carolyn serves a role that surpasses mere therapist. She listens. She uses her skills in a way in which you are aware that she is using them, but she does not come across as clinical, but as human. Her holistic approach takes into account the body, the mind, and the spirit. At the time that I sought therapy, she was the right person in the right place. She was the perfect therapist for me!
