About Carolyn Sultana

Carolyn Sultana is a licensed clinical social worker based in New York with 31 years of professional experience supporting people through stress, anxiety, relationship challenges, trauma and abuse, and mood difficulties. She brings a respectful, sensitive, and compassionate approach to therapy, tailoring conversations and treatment plans to each person's unique needs and goals. Carolyn works with issues ranging from self-esteem and depression to more specific concerns such as panic, post-traumatic stress, communication problems, and life transitions like divorce or pregnancy and childbirth.

Her practice emphasizes collaborative care that meets clients where they are, helping them build insight, coping strategies, and stronger interpersonal connections. As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW), she draws on evidence-based methods to address both day-to-day stressors and deeper patterns related to abandonment, guilt and shame, impulsivity, and body image. Taking the first step toward therapy often takes courage, and Carolyn acknowledges and supports that commitment while guiding clients toward clearer goals and practical steps forward.

Clients who choose Carolyn can expect a focused yet flexible therapeutic relationship that respects their pace and priorities, with an emphasis on improving functioning, emotional regulation, and relationship satisfaction.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Carolyn Sultana integrates Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) into her online practice to meet a range of needs. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening with empathy and creating a supportive space so clients can explore their feelings and goals at their own pace - it is useful for building self-esteem and addressing life purpose or isolation. CBT looks at the connections between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and offers practical tools to reduce anxiety, manage panic, and improve mood through skill building and behavior changes. EFT concentrates on emotional experience and attachment patterns in relationships, helping couples or individuals work through hurt, improve communication, and strengthen bonds.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey, and Carolyn works collaboratively with each person to determine what fits best based on their needs, goals, and preferences. She adapts techniques over time so therapy remains relevant and effective for the client's situation.

Online therapy with Carolyn includes video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to maintain consistent care, access support from home, and choose the communication style that works best for each session.
