Dr. Carolyn Frye , LPC

Dr. Carolyn Frye is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Georgia with 17 years of clinical experience. She holds a Master of Arts degree in Professional Counseling from the Georgia School of Professional Psychology and earned a Doctor of Christian Psychology from Logos Graduate School. She is licensed in the state of Georgia as an LPC and maintains credentials from the National Board of Certified Counselors, offering a national counseling credential, as well as a certification as a clinical hypnotherapist earned in 2009. She is also a member of the Licensed Professional Counselor Association of Georgia and is credentialed as a Certified Professional Counselor Supervisor by that association, a qualification that reflects training to supervise other counselors.

Dr. Frye specializes in depression, anxiety, and mood disorders and works with a wide range of related concerns, including stress, self-esteem, coping with life changes, addictions, relationship and family issues, grief, parenting challenges, anger, career concerns, bipolar disorder, codependency, and young adult issues. Her practice emphasizes practical counseling interventions aimed at relieving symptoms and helping clients find new ways to respond to their particular life situations.

In collaboration with each person she sees, Dr. Frye develops individualized treatment goals and selects interventions that reflect the client’s story, pace, and priorities. She uses evidence-informed approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and other counseling strategies to help clients address current problems, improve emotional control, and support changes in habits and functioning.

CBT and Hypnotherapy Applied to Online Care

Dr. Carolyn Frye uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and learn practical skills to manage symptoms. CBT is goal-oriented and often focuses on patterns that contribute to anxiety, depression, stress, and difficulties with emotional control.

In addition to CBT, Dr. Frye holds a certification in clinical hypnotherapy, an approach that uses guided relaxation and focused attention to support changes in habits, coping, and emotional responses when appropriate. Clinical hypnotherapy can be used alongside other therapeutic techniques to address issues such as habit change and stress reduction.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Dr. Frye works with each person to evaluate needs, goals, and preferences, and she tailors treatment plans to fit those priorities. Over time she and the client refine methods to best support progress and daily functioning.

Online therapy offers flexibility in how and when sessions occur. Video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging make it easier to fit care into a busy schedule and to maintain continuity when in-person visits are not practical. Licensed professionals can adapt CBT and other approaches effectively across these formats to support ongoing work toward clients’ goals.
