Carolyn "Ashley" Wanyonyi

Carolyn "Ashley" Wanyonyi is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Maine and Nevada with 11 years of experience. She supports adults facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, depression, grief, parenting struggles, and questions about life purpose and midlife change.

Ashley focuses on practical conversations that help people manage day-to-day strain. She listens without judgment and uses clear methods drawn from cognitive and client-centered ideas. Sessions address immediate concerns like mood, worry, and coping with loss, as well as longer-term issues such as caregiving stress or shifts in identity after change.

Her background includes work in foster care and with families who had medically fragile children, giving her experience with complex caregiving and end-of-life topics. She has also supported people dealing with attachment, blended family dynamics, immigration-related stress, and obsessive or compulsive patterns.

Therapy sessions typically mix goal-focused problem solving with attention to how a person tells their own story. Ashley draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy to break unhelpful patterns and try small, testable changes. She also uses Client-Centered and Internal Family Systems ideas to explore internal parts and personal values.

Sessions are conducted in English and follow the procedures set by her LCSW licenses in Maine and Nevada. Costs vary by location and use a subscription that can be canceled at any time. To begin, visitors are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first appointment.

How therapeutic approaches guide online sessions

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on respectful listening and reflecting what matters to the person. It is useful when someone needs space to sort out values, identity, or how a major life change feels.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts and behaviors keep problems going and teaches practical skills to test and change those patterns. It can help with anxiety, depression, and repetitive worry or compulsive habits.

Solution-Focused Therapy zeroes in on small, concrete steps and goals you can try between sessions. It is often used when people want quick, actionable ways to change routines or approach a specific problem.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences and then suggest methods to try together. That collaborative process helps shape the plan as sessions progress.

Confirm the current session formats before booking, since the biography does not list specific options here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments into a workday, reduce travel time, or choose a shorter check-in when needed. Different formats can also allow people to manage camera use or bandwidth demands, and to schedule around caregiving and other responsibilities.
