01About Carolyn
Carolyn Bruce is a Licensed Professional Counselor who focuses on helping people through hard patches in life. She speaks plainly and listens closely, aiming to make sessions feel approachable and practical for someone juggling work, parenting, or daily stress. She helps with anxiety, depression, anger, ADHD, grief, and relationship or intimacy concerns.
She also supports people facing career decisions, coping with life changes, and dealing with compassion fatigue or burnout.
Background and approach
Sessions are aimed at clear goals and small, useful steps clients can try between meetings. Carolyn draws from several evidence-informed approaches to match each person’s needs. She uses client-centered principles to build trust and DBT strategies for emotional regulation and distress tolerance.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques are used to spot and shift unhelpful thinking patterns. Her style is warm and interactive rather than purely didactic. Expect a mix of talking, practical exercises, and reflection.
Carolyn prefers to create simple plans clients can use in day-to-day life, not long lists of homework. Carolyn has 14 years of experience and practices in Louisiana. She has worked with people from varied backgrounds and aims to adapt methods to fit cultural and personal differences.
She will help clarify goals, track progress, and adjust the plan as needs change.

How Carolyn’s Approaches Work Online
Carolyn uses Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in online sessions to help people feel heard and make concrete changes. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building trust so clients can explore what matters most to them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches tools to change unhelpful thinking patterns.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Carolyn will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and then suggest ways of working together. This collaborative process means the plan can change over time based on what helps most.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can fit a tight schedule or lower bandwidth needs. Live chat or text messaging can be useful for brief check-ins, ongoing coaching, or when writing feels easier than speaking. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy life and try methods that suit each person’s routine.
