More about Carolina

  • 7 years' experience
  • Female
  • LMSW, LISW

My name is Carolina Dudley and I am a Licensed Master Social Worker in the State of Michigan and Ohio. I've worked in my field for almost 16 years in various settings (court ordered juvenile placement, sobriety court, Hospital inpatient and outpatient, hospice care and community) and with various populations and ages.

My therapeutic counseling style is compassionate and encouraging. I encourage openness and trust. Deciding to participate in therapy can be feel scary to most people as it is difficult to share very intimate details of our lives. I want to be the first one to commend you for deciding to take that chance and to allow me to embark in this path with you.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.

Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

I really do enjoy taking with Carolina she seams fun and intuitive about our sessions ,offering experiences and expertise to help solve or mitigate some of my issues or concerns. Along with some worksheets I can refrance about additional calming exercises and approaches to keep my mind at ease. I would like it if the sessions were a bit closer together though... It would help to keep previous sessions fresh in ones mind if they were. But I do understand that she has more than likely numerious clients.

Carolina has helped me more than I can express in words. Being a professional myself my biggest fear was having someone who would try so many textbook responses to me and I wouldn’t feel sincerity in out conversations. I feel like an equal. I know our goal (as mental health professionals) is to just provide resources and a ground work to help our clients. I feel heard, I feel I can put my thoughts in the correct patterns and I feel supported. I need that the most.
