About Carolyn
Carolyn Moore is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Arizona with 23 years of practice as a psychotherapist. She focuses on trauma and abuse survivors, grief, stress and anxiety, and people navigating life changes. Carolyn also supports those dealing with relationship and intimacy issues, workplace strain, and questions tied to family dynamics and family of origin issues.
Her sessions are conversational and direct. She helps people name patterns that trace back to childhood and sees how those patterns show up now. Clients can expect practical tools and guided processing rather than abstract theory.
Carolyn uses a mix of approaches depending on the person's needs. She draws on client-centered techniques to keep sessions focused on the person. She also uses cognitive behavioral strategies to address thinking and behavior patterns that maintain distress.
For clients who have trauma memories that interfere with daily life, she includes EMDR and trauma-focused methods to work through those memories and their emotional impact. Carolyn explains each step and checks in about pacing so the work fits the person's readiness.
She often helps people untangle codependency, communication breakdowns, guilt and shame, and the lingering effects of family roles. Sessions emphasize clear goals, steady progress, and skills people can use outside sessions.

How her approaches translate to online work
Carolyn uses client-centered methods that focus on the person's concerns and preferences. This approach means sessions follow what matters most to the client and adjust to how they want to work on issues like family patterns or relationship struggles.She also integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). CBT involves identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors. It helps with anxiety, low mood, workplace problems, and habits linked to family-of-origin patterns.
For trauma that keeps coming up in daily life, she uses EMDR and trauma-focused techniques. EMDR works with how memories and feelings are stored so they feel less disruptive. Trauma-focused methods aim to reduce the intensity of traumatic memories and related symptoms over time.
Deciding on an approach is collaborative. Carolyn will discuss options and try methods that match the client's goals, pace, and comfort. She checks in frequently and adjusts the plan based on the client's feedback.
The practical benefits of working online include fitting sessions into a busy week and easier scheduling around work or childcare.
