About Carolyn
Carolyn Mullas is an LCPC (Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor) and an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) licensed in Illinois and Michigan with 20 years of professional experience. She works with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, self-esteem issues, depression, and ADHD-related concerns such as focus, concentration, and memory. Carolyn writes plainly and focuses on practical, manageable steps when someone is feeling overwhelmed by daily life.
She begins by listening to the person’s story and recognizing the strengths already present. Sessions aim to break down problems into small, clear actions. Conversation is direct and practical, with an emphasis on what a person can try between meetings.
Carolyn draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address panic, mood challenges, and trauma-related reactions. She also supports people dealing with family-of-origin issues, forgiveness, guilt and shame, and questions about life purpose. Her work includes helping with impulsivity, isolation, and communication problems.
Across two decades she has worked with adults on concerns linked to adoption and foster care, veteran and armed forces issues, and disruptive mood patterns. She helps people notice patterns that keep them stuck and practice different ways of responding. Sessions move at a steady, realistic pace and focus on skills that can be used right away.

How therapeutic methods translate to online sessions
Carolyn uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on skills you can practice between meetings and apply in real situations. One common approach emphasizes behavioral experiments and graded exposure to reduce panic and fear of social situations; it involves small, repeated steps that build tolerance for anxiety. Another approach focuses on cognitive strategies to notice unhelpful thoughts and test them with clear, practical experiments to reduce self-criticism and low mood.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Carolyn will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their goals and daily life. She checks in regularly and adjusts tactics based on what helps most, combining skill practice with problem-solving as needed.
