About Carolyn

Carolyn "Ashley" Wanyonyi is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Nevada. She helps people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, grief, and the demands of parenting. She also supports those facing caregiving stress, hospice and end-of-life concerns, and challenges tied to aging or major life changes.

Ashley uses a straightforward, respectful way of working. She listens without judgment and tailors sessions to each person's needs. Conversations focus on practical steps clients can try between meetings as well as how to make everyday life feel more manageable.

Her approach draws on client-centered ideas to keep the person’s goals central. She also uses cognitive behavioral techniques to spot and change unhelpful thinking patterns. Solution-focused strategies help set short-term targets and measure small wins.

Ashley has 11 years of experience in clinical settings that include foster care and supporting families with medically fragile children. She draws on that experience when helping people navigate family and caregiver stress, blended family issues, and problems rooted in family of origin.

People meet her for help with grief, compassion fatigue, obsessive or compulsive behaviors, mood disorders, and questions about life purpose or midlife transitions. She works with immigration-related stress and isolation as well. The goal is steady, realistic progress rather than quick fixes.

If someone is ready to begin, the process starts with a short matching questionnaire and scheduling. Sessions use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.

How these approaches translate to online therapy

Ashley commonly uses client-centered work and cognitive behavioral therapy in her sessions. Client-centered therapy means the conversation stays focused on the person's priorities, with the therapist listening carefully and reflecting back what matters most. Cognitive behavioral therapy looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions, and introduces small, practical steps to change patterns that cause distress.

Finding the right way of working is a collaborative process. Ashley will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, try an approach, and adjust as needed. The plan is shaped by what helps the client feel more capable and better able to manage daily challenges.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm current session options before booking since formats are not listed here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a day off, a work break, or caregiving schedule. They can also allow for shorter check-ins when that is helpful, and reduce travel time so more consistent progress is possible. Licensed professionals can adapt client-centered and CBT tools to remote sessions while keeping the focus on practical steps and clear goals.
