Carolyn "Ashley" WanyonyiLCSW

Carolyn "Ashley" Wanyonyi meets people who are feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or worn out by life’s changes. She listens without judgment and helps parents and individuals facing stress, anxiety, grief, relationship strain, parenting challenges, mood shifts, and compassion fatigue. Ashley uses a calm, practical manner to help people take the next step toward feeling better.

Ashley is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, licensed in Nevada and Maine with 11 years of experience. She draws on client-centered ideas to follow what matters most to each person. She also uses cognitive-behavioral tools to identify patterns that keep problems going, and solution-focused strategies to set small, doable goals.

Sessions focus on clear, practical steps and on hearing the whole story. Treatment plans are built around each person's needs and values. Conversations include looking at how past relationships or family of origin issues shape current struggles, and finding ways to cope with caregiving stress, aging concerns, or major life transitions.

Ashley has experience in foster care settings and supporting caregivers of medically fragile children, which informs her approach to complex family topics. She also helps people facing immigration-related stress, end-of-life and hospice concerns, and challenges with obsessions or compulsions.

If someone wants straightforward guidance, short-term problem solving, or ongoing support through grief, parenting strain, or mood difficulty, Ashley offers a steady, respectful approach to move forward.

How therapeutic approaches shape online care

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following what matters most to the person. The therapist reflects understanding and supports clients in naming their goals and values, which helps with parenting stress, grief, or life transitions.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. It offers practical exercises and experiments to reduce anxiety, manage mood swings, and change unhelpful patterns.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences, and may blend ideas from different approaches as needed.

Confirm the current session options before booking, since formats are not specified here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life by removing travel time and allowing appointments during breaks or between responsibilities. It can also make shorter check-ins or goal-focused work more convenient for people juggling caregiving or work. Licensed professionals provide the same therapeutic methods used in person, adapted to work over distance when appropriate.
