About Carolyn

Carolyn Faucette is an Ohio-licensed social worker who focuses on Trauma-Focused Therapy alongside other approaches. She brings two decades of experience and a straightforward, respectful style to sessions. Carolyn emphasizes meeting people where they are and tailoring conversations and plans to each person's needs.

She has long helped people manage stress, anxiety, grief, and depression. Relationship and family concerns are a frequent focus, and she also supports people dealing with parenting strain, anger, self-esteem, bipolar mood concerns, and big life changes. Trauma and abuse are named areas she addresses as part of that work.

Carolyn uses a mix of approaches in practice. She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help clients clarify values and take meaningful steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to identify patterns of thinking and behavior that get in the way. Attachment-based and client-centered methods guide how she builds trust and follows each person’s pace.

Sessions are practical and conversational. Carolyn aims to be direct but compassionate, helping people set realistic goals and learn skills they can use day to day. She will adapt the plan as progress unfolds.

If you are stepping into therapy for the first time or returning after time away, she acknowledges that this can feel hard and encourages people to take that step when they feel ready.

How trauma-focused and values-based therapy work online

Carolyn uses Trauma-Focused Therapy to help people process difficult experiences and reduce symptom-related interference in daily life. This approach focuses on safe, paced work to address memories and reactions that follow trauma.

She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which helps people clarify what matters to them and take actions that match those values even when feelings are difficult. Attachment-Based Therapy informs how she builds trust, attends to relational patterns, and supports healthier connections with others.

Finding the right approach is part of therapy. Carolyn works with each person to choose methods that fit their goals, needs, and comfort level. She adjusts pacing and techniques as progress is made, and makes decisions together about which tools to use.

Session logistics should be confirmed before booking since formats are not specified here. Many people find online work helpful for fitting sessions into a busy life, reducing commute time, and maintaining continuity when schedules change. Ask about the available session options so you can pick the arrangement that best supports your routine and needs.

These summaries are based on the profile information listed on BetterHelp. Listing trauma-focused therapy does not mean a therapist holds a specific certification such as TF-CBT, EMDR or CPT.
