About Carolyn
Carolyn "Ashley" Wanyonyi is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who helps parents and individuals manage stress, anxiety, grief, and relationship strain. She frames concerns plainly and listens without judgment so people feel heard from the first session. Her style aims to make conversations practical and usable for everyday life.
Ashley blends straightforward talk with goal-focused techniques. She draws on client-centered ideas to make sure sessions reflect each person's values.
Background and approach
Cognitive behavioral tools are used to identify patterns of thinking and try small changes that can ease anxiety and low mood. She also uses solution-focused methods to set short-term goals and track progress. Internal Family Systems ideas help people understand different parts of themselves and how those parts influence parenting, relationship reactions, and self-esteem.
Sessions focus on steps clients can try between meetings. Ashley has eleven years of clinical experience and holds LCSW licenses in Nevada and Maine. She has worked across a range of settings, including foster care and with families caring for medically fragile children.
That background informs a practical approach when coping with grief, life transitions, and caregiver stress. Therapy sessions are offered through video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. She speaks English and provides services to people based in Nevada.
Getting started is a simple online match and scheduling process.

How therapy approaches translate to online care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following what matters most to the client. The therapist reflects concerns, validates feelings, and helps people clarify their own goals and values. This approach is useful when parenting feels overwhelming and someone needs a nonjudgmental space to sort priorities.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It teaches simple exercises to challenge unhelpful thinking and build new habits. CBT works well for anxiety, low mood, and practical parenting stress where concrete steps can reduce daily overwhelm.
Selecting the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each client about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped in the past. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as progress is made.
Online sessions can be done by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions use less bandwidth, live chat can be a quick check-in, and messaging supports brief updates or reflections between meetings. These options make it easier to schedule care around work, childcare, and daily routines.
