About Dr. Carolyn Greenleaf

Dr. Carolyn Greenleaf is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Texas (LCSW) who has practiced as a psychotherapist and crisis interventionist in the Dallas metro area since 1979. She supports people managing a wide range of concerns, including depression, anxiety, childhood abuse, marital and family problems, trauma and stress disorders, post-traumatic adjustment disorders, and bereavement.

Her counseling approach is interactive and straightforward. She draws primarily on person-centered work to build and maintain a healthy therapeutic relationship and uses cognitive behavioral techniques to identify and address destructive, self-defeating thoughts and coping patterns. She also weaves humor into sessions as a way to make difficult work more approachable.

Clients say she is a kind person, and she values that feedback because she genuinely cares about others and wants to help when she can. Her practice emphasizes clear communication, practical strategies, and a collaborative therapeutic partnership.

One of the clearest advantages is flexibility. People can connect in the way that works best for them: through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or in-app messaging. This flexibility can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and to maintain continuity of care.

Licensed professionals provide these services, and therapists are available to adjust approaches or be changed if you would like a different fit. For many individuals, remote therapy offers a practical, clinically sound option to get support without giving up the quality of care.
