About Carolynn

Carolynn Bourque is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people facing stress and anxiety. She works with parents, caregivers, young adults, and professionals who are worn down by life changes or workplace pressure. Her focus includes parenting strain, compassion fatigue, and building healthier self-esteem.

She listens in a straightforward, calm way and helps people build real skills for day-to-day life. Conversations often center on clearer communication, setting boundaries, and learning practical coping strategies.

Background and approach

Sessions aim to break problems into manageable steps so progress feels tangible. Carolynn draws on a person-centered, trauma-informed outlook. That means she meets people where they are, pays attention to past wounds, and respects each person’s pace.

The goal is to increase self-compassion while reducing shame and guilt. She also pays attention to role-based stress like caregiving and workplace strain. People explore control issues, forgiveness, and how to find more meaning in work and life.

Carolynn frames these topics in simple, actionable terms rather than abstract theory. Her background includes ten years of clinical experience in Louisiana and holds the LCSW credential, which identifies her as a licensed clinical social worker. She offers empathy and practical tools to help people move forward from anxiety, low self-worth, or major life transitions.

Online support

Approaches that guide online sessions

Carolynn uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques in clear, practical ways. One approach focuses on building self-compassion and reducing shame by helping people notice harsh self-talk and replace it with kinder, more realistic statements. This helps with low self-esteem and guilt.

Another common approach emphasizes communication skills and problem-solving. Sessions practice concrete tools for setting boundaries, improving workplace interactions, and handling caregiver stress. These techniques aim to create small, repeatable changes that ease daily pressure.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and personal style. Plans are adjusted over time based on what is helpful and what isn’t.

Online therapy offers flexibility for people with busy lives. Video calls let people have regular face-to-face conversations without travel. Phone sessions and live chat work when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Text-based messaging allows ongoing reflection between sessions and can fit into a tight schedule. These options help make therapy more accessible across different routines and constraints.
