Carolyn Westgate, LCPC

Carolyn Westgate is an LCPC - Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor in Kansas with 22 years of experience. She works with adults on issues such as stress, anxiety, addictions, depression, ADHD, trauma, grief, parenting struggles, and anger. Carolyn also helps with career concerns and relationship difficulties that come up alongside these challenges.

She uses several practical therapy approaches to help people change unhelpful patterns of thinking and behavior. Carolyn draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help clients notice thoughts, try different actions, and commit to values-based changes. She also uses Solution-Focused techniques to set clear, achievable goals in short-term work.

Her background includes long experience in private practice and time leading a Professionals' Health Program. That work gave her exposure to a wide range of situations and to people with complex, overlapping concerns. She views therapy as a collaborative effort and will look for resources and approaches that match a client's problem and preferences.

Carolyn is straightforward in sessions. She listens, reflects what she hears, and helps people try specific steps between meetings. If a particular relationship with a therapist does not feel right, she will assist in finding another professional who may be a better match.

Sessions are held in English and are based in Kansas. Fees vary with location and use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. To begin, clients follow the online matching process and schedule an initial appointment.
