Meet Carolyn Lutz, MA, NCC, LPC Resident

Carolyn’s counseling style is person-centered and strengths based. She affirms the innate autonomy of clients and believes therapy provides a distinct opportunity to identify personal strengths, acknowledge areas for growth, and experience healing.  

A North Carolina native, Carolyn received her undergraduate degree from The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and her Master of Arts in Christian Counseling – Clinical Mental Health from Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary in Charlotte. She is a Licensed Professional Counselor Resident under the supervision of Megan A. Ellis, LPC-S, LSATP. Her clinical approach incorporates Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and
The Gottman Method (for couples counseling).  Carolyn is a National Certified Counselor (NCC).

Carolyn works with teens and adults facing anxiety, depression, grief, loss, stress management, eating disorders, women’s issues (professional identity, self-worth, and body image), and trauma in various forms, including religious. She has a special interest in working with individuals with physical and/or intellectual disabilities and couples who need support navigating, growing, or healing their relationship. As a Christian in the Anglican tradition, Carolyn respects spirituality’s influence in the clinical space and fosters a warm therapeutic environment for exploring it. 

Carolyn recognizes the complexity of mental health and seeks to collaborate with other professionals (teachers, social workers, therapists, psychiatrists, etc.) to advocate for, and support, her clients. She also provides psychoeducation to empower clients and works with them to identify preventative measures for their mental health.

Carolyn knows being human is complex, confusing, and sometimes painful –
she stands ready to help clients find hope in their story.
