I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Florida and North Carolina with over 10 years of experience working as a therapist/counselor. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, aging and geriatric problems, isolation/loneliness problems. I also helped many people who have experienced life purpose problems, emptiness and self-love.
My therapy style is warm and interactive. I believe in treating anyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and I don't believe in stigmatizing labels. My approach combines cognitive-behavioral, humanistic, client-centered and solution focused. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs.
It takes courage to seek a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards change. If you are ready to take that step, I am here to support and empower you.
I look forward to working with you!

Carolyn Hallinan is a very professional and well educated therapist. She cares about her patients and makes personal connections with each one! She provided me with very useful information that helped me become more aware of how to live with my issues and keep them in control, she was exactly the kind of therapist I was looking for. Someone who understood the situations I was facing and provided me with the knowledge and insight to face them, while also never letting a day go by without a meaningful message on days we didn't have sessions, and a caring smile on days we did. I would completely recommend Carolyn for anybody who fits her specialties in the field, she has a great approach to all situations and problems, and will help you achieve a better state of mind!
