About Carolyn (Lyn) Beyer
Carolyn (Lyn) Beyer is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Wisconsin with 24 years of clinical experience. She brings deep experience working with depression, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, addictions, relationship and family concerns, and a range of life transitions. As a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional, she is trained to recognize and work with the complex effects that single-event and long-term traumatic experiences can have on emotional and physical well-being.
Her therapeutic stance emphasizes collaboration - she views each person as the expert on their own life and partners with clients to guide, support, and occasionally challenge them during the healing process. Her work is rooted in client-centered and humanistic principles while drawing on cognitive behavioral strategies and other adjunctive techniques as appropriate. That blend allows her to address symptoms and patterns while honoring a client’s values and personal goals.
Outside of clinical work she identifies as a mother, grandmother, yoga enthusiast, hiker, friend, sister, and former director who remains engaged in therapy even in semi-retirement. She describes herself as honest, compassionate, progressive, and disciplined, and she values the therapeutic relationship as central to meaningful change. She often cites the phrase "Today I Chose Courage over Comfort" - Brene Brown - as a touchstone for growth and resilience.

Therapeutic approaches and the benefits of online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them and then choose actions that align with their values. ACT is useful for anxiety, stress, and situations where shifting relationship to inner experience supports meaningful change.Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental partnership in which the therapist follows the client's lead, offering empathy and support while helping the person explore their own goals. This approach is effective for building self-esteem, improving relationships, and navigating life transitions.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and modifying unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors. CBT can reduce symptoms of depression and anxiety and provide practical coping skills for everyday challenges.
