Carynne has a passion for helping others and has been able to do so with clients ranging from ages four to 80 years old. She has a distinct passion and proven talent in working with marriages and families, and does not believe in a one size fits all approach to treatment. Instead, she prefers a pragmatic approach that includes psychodynamic treatment, CBT, DBT skills, Motivational Interviewing, Solution-focused, and psychoeducation.

Carynne is one of the most compassionate counselors I've had--ever. She allows me the space to feel safe and heard, while also listening intently and uncovering the hard truths underneath everything I'm saying. I didn't think I could connect this well with a counselor online, and I was skeptical when first joining Betterhelp. Through the last 4 months, Carynne has helped me with sorting through childhood traumas, listening to my work dilemmas, helping me evaluate complicated relationships, and laughing with me in all of my silly life situations. She truly is a treasure.

Carynne is a really compassionate and is very good at helping me think through my feelings and find ways to help me maintain a positive outlook and stability, even when faced with a lot of trying situations. She also conveys a sense of calm that I really appreciate, and she provides me with a road map to addressing issues that feels achievable. I am really grateful to have her support.
