About Carolyn
Carolyn Hollingshead is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people facing stress, anxiety, grief, relationship strain, low self esteem, and eating concerns. She brings a practical, down-to-earth approach to conversations and focuses on small, usable changes that make daily life easier.
She draws on more than two decades of social work experience and a background in nutrition and health education. That combination shapes a holistic view of problems that involve the body, food, or chronic illness. Carolyn also has focused training related to grief work and the Gottman Method for relationship work.
In sessions she balances listening with concrete tools. People often talk through patterns, try short exercises, and practice new ways of thinking between meetings. Carolyn uses cognitive behavioral ideas, acceptance and commitment strategies, and mindfulness techniques when those fit the person’s goals.
Her past work includes helping people manage chronic pain, cope with loss, and change eating-related habits. She is comfortable discussing family of origin themes, blended family dynamics, and end-of-life concerns. Her background as a registered dietitian and a PhD in nutrition informs her approach to body image and weight management topics.
Carolyn’s style is collaborative and curious. She helps people notice what gets in their way and tests small shifts to see what helps. Her goal is to leave people with clearer choices and practical steps they can use between sessions.
