About Carolyn
Carolyn "Ashley" Wanyonyi brings 11 years of clinical social work experience to clients in Nevada, offering compassionate support for stress, anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, grief, parenting challenges, and coping with life transitions.
Background and approach
She is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with licenses in Maine and Nevada, and she has worked in settings that include family therapy and care for medically fragile children. Her practice also addresses issues such as bipolar disorder, obsessive-compulsive concerns, caregiver stress, grief and hospice-related needs, and immigration-related adjustment.
Ashley emphasizes a person-centered stance that treats each client as an individual rather than a diagnosis. She combines practical skills with collaborative planning, using tools drawn from cognitive behavioral therapy, solution-focused strategies, and internal family systems to build treatment plans that reflect a client's goals and values.
Her tone is respectful and nonjudgmental, and she aims to empower people to take steps toward more fulfilling, manageable lives. Clients can expect tailored dialogue and interventions that prioritize their needs, whether the focus is improving communication, managing mood symptoms, navigating family-of-origin issues, or addressing isolation and life purpose questions.
Ashley welcomes those ready to explore change and supports them through each stage of the process.
Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support
Carolyn "Ashley" Wanyonyi draws on cognitive behavioral therapy and client-centered approaches to guide online work. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, stress, and mood challenges. Client-centered work emphasizes empathy, respect, and collaborative listening to help clients clarify values and goals and feel heard during difficult life changes.She sees finding the right approach as a collaborative process. Together clients and the therapist explore which techniques and perspectives best fit a person's needs, preferences, and goals, and they adjust the plan over time to match progress and changing priorities.
Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility and access. These formats allow people to engage in therapy from different locations and to choose communication styles that suit their schedules and comfort levels, making it easier to maintain continuity of care while balancing daily responsibilities.
