About
Dr. Carolyn Greenleaf is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker practicing in Texas who began working as a psychotherapist and crisis interventionist in the Dallas metro area in 1979. She has built a clinical career spanning forty years addressing a broad range of concerns, including depression, anxiety, childhood abuse, marital and family problems, trauma and stress-related disorders, post-traumatic adjustment issues, and bereavement.
Her counseling style is direct and interactive, drawing primarily from person-centered and cognitive-behavioral approaches. She applies person-centered methods to establish and maintain a strong therapeutic relationship, while using cognitive-behavioral techniques to identify and address destructive, self-defeating thoughts and coping patterns. She also values humor as a helpful tool in easing difficult topics, describing it as a “spoonful of sugar” that makes challenging work more approachable.
Dr. Greenleaf holds a Texas license to practice as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (TX LCSW 11120) and brings four decades of clinical experience to her practice. Clients have said she is a kind person, which reflects her genuine care and desire to help when she can.

Is Online Therapy the Right Choice for Your Mental Health Journey?
Many people wonder whether meeting with a therapist online can truly help. For common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, or navigating life transitions, online therapy has been shown to be comparably effective to traditional in-person care for most people. A major benefit of remote sessions is flexibility - individuals can connect in the way that feels most comfortable, whether by video call, phone, live chat, or in-app messaging. That flexibility makes it easier to integrate therapy into a busy schedule and to maintain continuity of care when life gets complicated. All participating therapists are licensed professionals, and clients have the option to change therapists if they need a different fit. For many people seeking support with everyday mental health and relationship concerns, online therapy offers an accessible and effective pathway to the help they want.How much experience does Dr. Carolyn Greenleaf have?
