Carolyn Moore , LCSW

Carolyn Moore is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Arizona with 23 years of experience as a psychotherapist. She has a deep commitment to working with survivors of physical, sexual, verbal, and emotional abuse, and she also assists people coping with other forms of trauma, grief and loss, anxiety, stress, and significant life transitions.

Her clinical toolbox includes Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), trauma-focused therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and inner-child work. Carolyn adapts these methods to fit each person's needs rather than following a single protocol, drawing on evidence-based techniques to address symptoms and on relational work to rebuild trust and resilience.

Her counseling style is caring, non-judgmental, respectful, and interactive, with an emphasis on emotional safety and wellbeing. She focuses on identifying and strengthening personal resources and works collaboratively with clients to set and reach meaningful goals. Carolyn aims to support, empower, and guide individuals through healing processes while honoring each person’s pace and priorities.

Approaches to Trauma-Informed Online Care

Carolyn commonly uses EMDR and trauma-focused therapy alongside cognitive behavioral therapy when working with people who have experienced trauma or are facing anxiety, grief, or major life changes. EMDR is a structured approach that helps the brain process distressing memories so they feel less overwhelming and intrusive. Trauma-focused therapy centers on understanding how traumatic events affect thoughts, emotions, and relationships and helps build skills for coping and regulation. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Carolyn collaborates with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and personal preferences. She emphasizes working together to try strategies, evaluate progress, and adjust the plan as needed.

Online therapy offers flexibility to connect by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, which can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, access care from different locations, and maintain continuity when schedules or circumstances change. Licensed professionals and therapists can use these formats to deliver evidence-informed treatments and ongoing support tailored to each individual.
