About Carolyn

Carolyn Sultana is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, licensed in New York with 31 years of experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, self-esteem, and depression. She works directly with people who are trying to manage daily pressures and emotional pain.

Carolyn uses clear, practical conversation to help people untangle overwhelming feelings. She listens for what matters most and helps set small, manageable goals. Sessions are aimed at improving day-to-day coping and decision making.

Her background includes long experience helping people work through problems tied to abandonment, body image, communication difficulties, control issues, and divorce or separation. She also addresses guilt and shame, impulsivity, loneliness, and questions about life purpose.

Carolyn draws on several therapeutic approaches. She uses Client-Centered Therapy to build a respectful working relationship. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify patterns that keep problems going. She also applies Emotionally-Focused Therapy when relationship emotions are a central concern.

Practical concerns like panic attacks, mood disorders, pregnancy and childbirth related stress, and post-traumatic stress are part of her practice. English-language sessions are provided. People who want to begin are asked to use the site process to complete a short questionnaire and schedule a first session.

BHow sessions work

How her approaches are used in remote sessions

Carolyn commonly blends Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Emotionally-Focused Therapy to address presenting concerns. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on building a respectful working relationship and listening closely to what matters most. It helps people feel heard and clarifies what they want to change.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and teaches practical skills to shift them. It is often used for anxiety, panic, mood problems, and stress. Emotionally-Focused Therapy works with the emotional patterns that shape relationship interactions and helps people express and respond to feelings differently.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Carolyn will discuss options and choose approaches together based on a person’s goals and preferences. That collaborative decision helps match methods to the problem rather than applying one fixed model.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm the current options before booking. Many people find online work useful because it can fit into a workday, reduce travel time, or allow shorter check-in meetings when needed. Online sessions can make it easier to keep therapy consistent while managing family, work, and health demands.
