About Carolina

Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) and Licensed Independent Social Worker (LISW) in Michigan and Ohio with 18 years of experience, Carolina Dudley helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, ADHD, and life changes. She is bilingual in English and Spanish. Carolina focuses on practical support for everyday problems, coaching around career and parenting concerns, and addressing mood and relationship struggles.

Carolina describes herself as someone with lived experience of ADHD and Autism Spectrum Disorder, which informs how she listens and responds in sessions. She uses straightforward conversation and clinical approaches to help clients identify patterns, try new strategies, and set realistic goals. Sessions include talk-based work and brief skill practice to address impulsivity, isolation, or communication problems.

Her approach draws on Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Solution-Focused Therapy. That means sessions focus on the client’s goals, practical steps to change thoughts or behaviors, and short-term strategies to move forward. Carolina also gives space to explore identity, multicultural concerns, and the emotional impact of caregiving.

People looking for support with parenting strain, seasonal mood shifts, social anxiety, or forgiveness issues will find clear, goal-oriented conversation and tools to try between meetings. She integrates faith when relevant to the client’s preferences, while keeping the work focused on tangible changes and coping skills.

To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. Costs vary with location and use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.

How her approaches fit with online therapy

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening closely and following the client’s lead. It helps when someone needs space to talk through identity, neurodivergence, or caregiving stress. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behaviors and teaches concrete skills to reduce anxiety or manage mood swings. Motivational Interviewing helps people clarify goals and strengthen motivation for change, which can be useful for career decisions or managing ADHD-related habits.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Carolina will collaborate with each person to decide which methods to try, based on their goals, preferences, and challenges. That means the plan can shift as progress is made and new issues come up.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current session options before booking. Online work can help fit sessions into a busy life by reducing travel time, making scheduling easier around work or caregiving, and allowing short check-ins when needed. It also lets therapists focus on practical exercises and homework between meetings to support steady progress.
