Carolyn "Renae" Traywick , LCPC, LPC

Carolyn "Renae" Traywick is a licensed professional counselor with more than 13 years of practical experience supporting teenagers and adults through periods of stress, anxiety, family conflict, career challenges, and depression. She has spent the last decade working extensively with students and adolescents who present behavior concerns both inside and outside the classroom, helping them build motivation, self-esteem, and confidence while addressing academic and social obstacles.

Her credentials - LCPC and LPC - indicate she is licensed to practice as a professional counselor in Nevada and Texas. Carolyn concentrates on anxiety, excessive stress, grief, parenting concerns, intimacy and relationship issues, and the emotional impacts of life changes including COVID-related mental health effects. She also works with individuals coping with low motivation or diminished self-worth, and she applies clinical focus to areas such as adoption and foster care, ADHD, and family dynamics when relevant.

Carolyn favors an empathetic, warm, and understanding environment and tailors care to each person’s needs, goals, and preferences. Her approach draws from client-centered methods, cognitive-behavioral techniques, solution-focused strategies, and choice therapy to create individualized plans that support practical progress. She recognizes the courage it takes to seek help and stands ready to partner with clients when they are ready to begin.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Carolyn "Renae" Traywick commonly uses client-centered therapy, which focuses on creating a supportive, nonjudgmental space where the client leads the conversation and the therapist follows their pace and priorities. This approach helps people who need empathetic listening and a chance to explore feelings, identity, and relationships without pressure.

She also applies cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), a practical, skills-based method that helps clients identify unhelpful thinking patterns and develop strategies to change behaviors and emotional responses. CBT is often helpful for anxiety, depression, stress management, and coping with life transitions.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Carolyn works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences. Sessions can combine elements from different approaches so the plan evolves as progress is made.

Online therapy offers flexibility for people balancing school, work, caregiving, or other commitments. Sessions can occur as video calls, phone conversations, live chat, or text-based messaging, allowing clients to choose the format that fits their schedule and communication style. This range of options makes it easier to maintain consistency in care and to access licensed professionals from wherever the client is located within allowed areas.
