Caroline Lawlor

Therapist-in-training

Hi, I’m Caroline! I’m a high school counselor with a Master of Science in Education in School Counseling from Fordham University and a Bachelor of Science in Sociology with a Psychology minor from the College of Charleston. I am a graduate student at University at Buffalo working toward receiving an Advanced Certificate in Mental Health Counseling. I am committed to fostering a supportive environment where students feel empowered to overcome obstacles and achieve their goals.

In my work, I focus on addressing the academic, social-emotional, and career readiness needs of students. My focus areas also include anxiety and life transitions. Whether facilitating workshops on time management and college readiness, guiding students through college and job applications, or offering one-on-one counseling, my approach is always student-centered and strength-based. As a rowing coach with experience supporting and counseling student-athletes, I am dedicated to helping them balance the demands of academics, athletics, and personal growth. I prioritize creating individualized strategies tailored to each student’s unique circumstances, ensuring they feel heard, supported, and prepared for their next steps.

I bring a trauma-informed and person-centered approach to my practice, coupled with techniques such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). My ultimate goal is to make mental health and academic support accessible to all students, particularly those from underserved communities. With a background in both school counseling and teaching, I aim to create equitable opportunities for students to thrive. Long-term, I aspire to establish a community-focused program that combines counseling, academic support, and extracurricular enrichment to empower the next generation of learners.
