About Carolyn

Carolyn Faucette uses practical, evidence-informed approaches to help people manage stress and relationship strain. She is a licensed independent social worker, LISW, based in Ohio and brings 20 years of professional experience to her work. Carolyn focuses on family and parenting concerns as well as anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, and life transitions.

She speaks plainly and works to create a respectful, compassionate space where people can talk through what feels overwhelming.

Background and approach

Her sessions are shaped to fit each person’s needs rather than following a rigid script. She draws from therapies like cognitive behavioral therapy and acceptance and commitment therapy to teach tools for coping and making clearer choices. Dialectical behavior therapy skills and attachment-based ideas are used when emotion regulation and relationships are central concerns.

Carolyn has supported people through major life changes and difficult family dynamics. She also addresses issues such as anger, self-esteem, bipolar disorder, and communication problems. Additional focus areas include caregiver stress, blended family challenges, and divorce or separation.

She values straightforward conversation and practical strategies. Carolyn will work with clients to build a plan that fits their goals and daily life. Taking the first step can feel hard, and she aims to make the process as manageable as possible.

Online therapy with practical, relationship-focused approaches

Carolyn uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors that reduce anxiety and improve mood. CBT often involves simple, step-by-step exercises to test beliefs and build coping skills.

She also draws from acceptance and commitment therapy, which teaches how to accept difficult feelings while focusing on values-based actions. ACT can help when worry or grief makes it hard to move forward.

Choosing the right approach is a team effort. Carolyn works with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and daily life. She will adapt techniques over time as needs and priorities change.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. These options make it easier to fit therapy around school, work, and family obligations and to maintain continuity when schedules shift. The focus remains on building useful skills and clearer communication, whether meeting by video or by message.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

Less about arguing with difficult thoughts, more about loosening their grip and acting on what matters to you anyway. Values and committed action carry the work, which suits conversation at a distance.

Attachment-Based Therapy

Looks at how early bonds shaped what you expect from closeness, and how that plays out now with a partner, a parent, or your own children.

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.
