About Carolyn
LCPC and LPC licensed in Illinois and Michigan with 20 years of clinical experience, Carolyn Mullas helps people manage stress, anxiety, trauma, depression, self-esteem concerns, and ADHD symptoms. She focuses on practical work that improves day-to-day functioning and coping.
Carolyn centers sessions on the client's perspective. She treats each person as the expert on their own life and builds on existing strengths. Conversations tend to be direct and focused on what is causing difficulty now and what can change in small, concrete ways.
Her approach includes talking through trauma and abuse, reducing symptoms of panic and mood disorders, and improving concentration and memory struggles linked to ADHD. She also helps with related concerns such as isolation, guilt and shame, and communication problems that affect work and relationships.
Carolyn draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide intervention choices. That means she uses methods shown to help with anxiety, depression, trauma, and attention-related problems, and she adapts them to each person's situation.
With two decades of experience across Illinois and Michigan settings, she has worked with people who face midlife transitions, adoption and foster care issues, veterans and armed forces concerns, and family of origin wounds. Practical problem-solving and skill practice are common parts of sessions.
To begin, prospective clients are asked to complete a short questionnaire and schedule an initial session. Carolyn uses a subscription model for sessions that can be canceled at any time; fees vary with location.

How evidence-based approaches are used in online sessions
Carolyn uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on clear skills and measurable goals. For anxiety and panic, she applies methods that teach breathing, grounding, and activity scheduling to reduce symptom intensity and increase daily functioning. For trauma and abuse work, she emphasizes safety planning, paced processing, and techniques to reduce reactivity and distress. For ADHD symptoms, she uses practical strategies to improve focus, organization, and memory through routines and behavioral adjustments. Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Carolyn will review your goals and needs and collaborate on which techniques to try first. She checks progress and adapts methods based on what helps you the most. The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Therapists in general also use remote sessions to practice skills in the moment and to support consistent follow-up between appointments.Sheet 3
