About Carolyn
Carolyn Hollingshead, LCSW, LISW-CP, helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and relationship challenges. She draws on more than two decades of social work experience to guide clients toward clearer thinking and better daily coping. Her background in nutrition and health often informs how she looks at chronic medical issues alongside emotional concerns.
Carolyn uses straightforward talk therapy combined with practical tools. She favors approaches that help people notice patterns, make small behavior changes, and find meaning in difficult moments. She also integrates ideas from mindfulness and ACT to help people live in line with their values even when symptoms are present.
Her training includes a PhD in Nutrition, a Master of Social Work, and prior work as a Registered Dietitian. She has specific experience with chronic pain, grief work, and eating disorders, and she taught body image and eating-disorder topics at the university level for many years. Carolyn has also completed the Certified Grief Counseling Specialist credential and Level One training with the Gottman Institute.
In sessions she often combines insight-oriented conversation with concrete strategies such as cognitive behavioral techniques and motivational interviewing. She values collaborative, process-focused work that helps clients reach moments of clarity and practical change.
