About Carolyn
Dr. Carolyn Lennox welcomes parents who are feeling overwhelmed, unsure, or stuck. She writes and talks plainly about real problems like stress, anxiety, grief, addiction, and relationship strain.
Parents can expect clear, practical help they can use between sessions. Dr. Lennox brings a steady, direct approach shaped by many years of work in mental health and family guidance.
With 40 years of clinical experience, she draws on both counseling and social work perspectives.
Background and approach
She holds a doctorate in counseling and is a Licensed Master Social Worker and a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in Texas - LMFT and LCSW. That background includes work in rehab clinics and in independent practice for more than a decade. Her sessions focus on what matters most to each person.
She uses tools from cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy to change unhelpful thinking and teach coping skills. Solution-focused techniques help set small, achievable goals. She also uses hypnotherapy where it fits a person’s needs and comfort.
Dr. Lennox prioritizes practicality. A parent might learn ways to manage panic or reduce day-to-day stress so they can be more present at home.
She also helps people facing grief, chronic illness, addiction, or major life changes to find steadier ground. She offers phone, video, chat, and text-based sessions to suit different schedules. New clients begin by completing a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a time that works for them.
Her work centers on helping people move toward the life they want.

Approaches that translate to online care
CBT helps people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It is often used for anxiety, depression, panic, and mood concerns and focuses on concrete exercises and skill building. DBT teaches skills for managing intense emotions, improving distress tolerance, and strengthening interpersonal effectiveness; it can be useful for strong emotional reactions and relationship strain.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and then suggest which methods to try. That decision is collaborative and can change as needs evolve.
Online sessions are offered by phone, video call, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different routines. Video is good for in-depth conversation and reading nonverbal cues. Phone sessions can be a quicker check-in or work better when bandwidth is limited. Chat and text messaging let people fit brief check-ins into a busy day or continue progress between longer sessions. These options aim to make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into family life.
