About
Carol Mackiewicz is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) who integrates clinical counseling skills with an art-based, transformative process designed to help people explore what is happening now and move toward what they want next. She works with clients who are ready to use their natural creativity to build confidence, strengthen self-soothing and empowerment skills, and focus on what feels most meaningful and compelling in their lives.
In sessions, clients create art while Carol facilitates the art-making process and supports ongoing verbal reflection. The work is collaborative and paced to the client, offering space to notice patterns, deepen awareness, and develop insight into personal questions and life transitions. No art experience is needed, and the focus is not on judgment, interpretation, or artistic performance, but on using the creative process as a practical way to learn and practice coping tools and self-understanding.
Carol earned a B.A. in Art and Painting in Dallas and an M.A. in Art Therapy and Counseling in Santa Fe. With 11 years of experience facilitating art therapy, she brings a steady, supportive approach for people navigating concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, self-esteem, relationships, grief, trauma and abuse, caregiver stress, postpartum depression, and other mood-related challenges.

Creative, Client-Centered Support Through Online Therapy
Carol Mackiewicz uses Client-Centered Therapy, an approach that prioritizes the client’s perspective and pace. Sessions focus on listening closely, building understanding, and helping clients identify what matters most, which can be especially supportive when working through stress, anxiety, low mood, self-esteem concerns, or major life changes.Her work also incorporates an art-based process within counseling, inviting clients to create art during sessions as a practical way to explore feelings, notice patterns, and develop insight. No art skills are required, and the emphasis is on the experience of making and reflecting, not on producing a certain result. This can be a helpful option for clients who find it easier to start with images, color, or symbols and then put words to what they are noticing.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Carol collaborates with clients to clarify goals, preferences, and comfort level with talk-based and art-based methods, adjusting the focus over time as needs change.
Online therapy can make it easier to get consistent support with flexible options, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. This variety can help clients stay connected to therapy even with busy schedules, caregiving responsibilities, or times when meeting face-to-face feels like a barrier.
