About Carolyn
Carolyn Mullas is an Illinois Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) and a Michigan Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 20 years of experience. She works with adults who are coping with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, depression, and ADHD symptoms such as problems with focus, concentration, and memory.
Carolyn approaches sessions with practical focus. She listens to each person's story and helps identify strengths they can use to address challenges. Conversations tend to be straightforward and goal-oriented, with attention to what is getting in the way day to day.
Her background includes two decades of professional work across clinical settings in Illinois and Michigan. That experience informs how she supports people dealing with mood symptoms, panic attacks, and the fallout of traumatic events. She also addresses concerns linked to adoption and foster care histories, family of origin issues, and feelings of isolation or shame.
Clients may bring a mix of problems such as impulsivity, control issues, communication difficulties, or questions about life purpose and midlife transitions. Carolyn also works with people affected by veteran and armed forces issues and with those experiencing disruptive mood patterns.
Sessions aim to name immediate problems and try practical steps forward. The early meetings focus on clear goals and small, manageable changes. Over time, work may shift to building routines, improving concentration, and reducing panic or depressive symptoms.
How evidence-based techniques are used online
Carolyn uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical skills and symptom relief. One common approach involves structured behavioral strategies to address anxiety and panic by identifying triggers and practicing step-by-step coping tasks. This helps reduce the intensity of panic and makes everyday situations easier to manage.Another approach targets attention and memory difficulties often linked to ADHD symptoms. It uses routine-building, simple organizational methods, and focused practice to improve concentration and task follow-through. These techniques are useful for study, work, and daily functioning challenges.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Carolyn will collaborate with each person to match methods to their goals, preferences, and needs. That means trying options, reviewing what helps, and adjusting the plan together rather than assuming a single path up front.
