About me

I am a Marriage and Family Therapist and Chemical Dependency Counselor licensed in the state of Texas. I have worked with families for over 5 years as a licensed clinician. Families have been my focus due to their complexities and the need for family foundations to be as strong as possible. Everything changes whether we are ready for it or not. I am here to help walk through some of those changes and support you with tough love, solid experience, and clinical knowledge. I also have a special place in my practice and heart for families with an addicted loved one. Addiction affects everyone – especially families.
I spent more than 10 years working with veterans and their families coping with deployment, PTSD, and family disruption throughout military careers. I am also an Army veteran of OEF/OIF. I have been there, done that, and got the t-shirt and the scars. No matter what branch we served, military or civilian first responders we all bleed and hurt in similar ways. Allow me to help you find your way out.
I am very straightforward and plain speaking. I listen intently and hear what isn’t being said. I will hold you accountable, support you, and keep you motivated.
Your courage even looking into getting help is phenomenal. I am so proud of you stretching out to get some support and help. I hope I can have the pleasure of working with you.

Reviews

These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Carolyn Clontz. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with BetterHelp might be different.

Carolyn listens but never judges. I find the piece sif advise that she gives very helpful and she usually delivers them in a compassionate and sometimes with a funny sense of humor. It feels like you're talking to a trusted friend. She also works with your schedule, which was very helpful when I needed help driving the holiday season.

She is hands down the best

I’ve tried therapy on and off for years, and Carolyn by far has been the kindest and most helpful in the matter of only a few weeks!

Carolyn is an amazing listener. Her funny sense of humor brings a feeling of friendship and true connection. I never once felt judged. She taught me to trust therapists again. I will definitely reach out to her again should I need the support and guidance. I will miss her dearly.
