Carolyn "Ashley" Wanyonyi, LCSW - Therapist in Nevada

About Carolyn

Carolyn "Ashley" Wanyonyi greets families and parents with practical, down-to-earth support. She is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with eleven years of experience and holds licenses in Maine and Nevada. She focuses on family and parenting concerns alongside common stresses like anxiety, depression, grief, and relationship strain.

Her approach is straightforward and caring, aimed at making small steps feel manageable for a busy household. Ashley listens without judgment and tailors conversations to each family’s situation.

Background and approach

She draws on client-centered methods to follow what matters most to the household. She also uses cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors. Solution-focused ideas help set clear, achievable goals so progress is visible between sessions.

Her background includes work with individuals, families, children, and couples, and experience in foster care and with medically fragile children. That range informs a practical stance toward parenting and family challenges. She emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and compassion in every interaction.

Sessions are used to talk through specific problems, learn new skills, and make plans that fit daily life. Conversations are collaborative: goals, pacing, and methods are shaped by the family. The aim is to reduce overwhelm and improve day-to-day functioning.

Ashley is based in Nevada and provides services in English. She offers multiple online session formats to fit family schedules and uses a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.

Therapeutic approaches and online support for families

Carolyn "Ashley" Wanyonyi blends methods that fit everyday family life. Client-Centered Therapy places the family's priorities first and focuses on listening with respect so parents and caregivers guide the goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors, which can be useful for anxiety, mood concerns, and stress. Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on specific, short-term goals so families can notice change and build on small wins.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Ashley will discuss what feels most helpful and adjust methods based on each family’s needs, goals, and preferences. That collaborative planning keeps sessions practical and focused on real steps that fit home life.

Online therapy offers flexibility for busy households. Video calls let families meet face to face from home, phone sessions can work around childcare, and live chat or text-based messaging allow brief check-ins and support between sessions. These options make it easier to maintain momentum while balancing school, work, and caregiving responsibilities.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.

Solution-Focused Therapy

Rather than examining the problem at length, this looks at what is already working and builds on it. Sessions tend to be practical and forward-looking, with small achievable steps, which translates readily to shorter online conversations.
