About Carolyn
Carolyn Sultana is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in New York with 31 years of experience. She works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship strain, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, and depression. Carolyn helps clients facing specific concerns like abandonment, body image, communication problems, and panic attacks.
She uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT), Client-Centered Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) in her work. Sessions focus on identifying feelings and patterns that keep problems repeating. She helps people name hard emotions and notice how those feelings shape their choices.
Carolyn draws on decades of practice to combine talking, practical strategies, and emotional exploration. CBT offers tools to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Client-Centered Therapy keeps the conversation centered on each person’s experience and goals.
In sessions she addresses issues such as control problems, guilt and shame, impulsivity, and isolation. She also works with concerns tied to major life changes like divorce, pregnancy and childbirth. Treatment includes attention to mood disorders, post-traumatic stress, and panic disorder.
People who seek help for relationship patterns, communication breakdowns, or repeated emotional reactions may find this approach relevant. Carolyn aims to work collaboratively to set goals and try methods that fit each person’s situation.
How EFT, client-centered work, and CBT translate to online sessions
Emotionally-Focused Therapy focuses on identifying and naming emotions that drive recurring patterns. It can help people understand how attachment and emotion shape relationship and personal reactions. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and responding to each person’s experience so the work stays grounded in what matters to them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy provides clear tools to adjust unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and is often used alongside emotional work.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful. That collaborative conversation helps decide whether to emphasize EFT, CBT, or a Client-Centered approach in sessions.
The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - for example, a shorter check-in can be scheduled during a work break, or sessions can avoid travel time. Some formats also reduce bandwidth needs or skip video when a brief phone conversation is preferable. Ask about the available session styles and lengths when you complete the matching questionnaire so arrangements fit day-to-day routines.
