Carolyn "Renae" Traywick

Carolyn "Renae" Traywick is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) and Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 13 years of experience. She works with adults and teens on stress, anxiety, depression, and parenting concerns using a calm, empathetic style. Her manner is warm and direct to help people feel heard and understood right away.

Renae has spent a decade supporting students and teenagers with behavior challenges both in and outside the classroom. She helps people who are facing career struggles, relationship strain, grief, or low motivation and self-esteem. Her background includes work with issues linked to adoption and foster care, autism and Asperger syndrome, and intellectual disability as focus areas mentioned in her practice.

Her approach is individualized to each person's needs and goals. Sessions emphasize practical steps, clearer thinking, and steady emotional support. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors in everyday life.

Client-Centered Therapy is another core influence, so sessions are paced by the client and guided by what matters most to them. Renae aims to create an open space where people can talk through difficult feelings and try small changes that add up over time.

She is licensed in Texas and Nevada and works in English. Renae encourages people to reach out when they are ready to begin working on specific goals or to get relief from ongoing stress and anxiety.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on following the client's lead, listening closely, and responding with empathy. Online sessions using this approach let the therapist adjust pace and topics based on what the person brings each week. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and behavior influence feelings and uses practical exercises to change patterns. CBT can be useful for anxiety, depression, stress, and low motivation by teaching specific skills and testing them between sessions.

Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with the client to identify goals, try approaches that match those goals, and adjust as needed. That means sessions can shift toward skills training, problem solving, or open exploration depending on what helps most.

Session formats are not specified here, so confirm current options before booking. Many people find online sessions useful because they can fit appointments into work or family schedules, reduce travel time, and choose quieter moments for focused conversation. Others appreciate that some sessions can be shorter check-ins while more involved work happens in a regular-length visit. The emphasis is on making therapy practical and workable within everyday life.
