    About Carly

    Carly George is a licensed social worker with 14 years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and problems with substance use. She speaks plainly and listens first, so parents and individuals often find her easy to talk with. Carly focuses on what each person wants to change and helps them set realistic goals they can reach.

    Her sessions are non-judgmental and guided by the client. She emphasizes respect and compassion and avoids stigmatizing labels. Treatment plans are created together so clients stay in charge of their goals.

    Carly uses tools from cognitive behavioral therapy to help people notice thoughts and behaviors that get in the way. She also draws on Motivational Interviewing to support people who feel stuck or ambivalent about change. Narrative and client-centered approaches help clients make sense of their story and use their strengths.

    She has a long background in substance use, mental health, and family work across many settings. That practical experience informs how she helps with addictions, relationship and family concerns, parenting strain, blended family issues, and young adult challenges.

    Carly helps with specific problems like panic attacks, phobias, social anxiety, ADHD-related struggles, and process addictions such as gambling or pornography. She also supports people dealing with trauma, anger, low self-esteem, and major life transitions.

    If a parent or individual is ready to explore change, Carly offers steady, respectful guidance while the client decides the pace and direction.

  2. How these approaches translate to online work

    Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and reflecting so the client leads the conversation and sets goals. Online sessions can keep that same emphasis by giving time for the client to describe what matters and decide next steps.

    Motivational Interviewing helps when someone feels unsure about change. It uses gentle, open questions and help weighing pros and cons, which can work well over video or phone as a way to clarify motivation and plan small steps.

    Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts and behaviors interact and uses simple exercises to try different responses. In remote sessions a therapist might teach brief practices, review homework, and track progress between meetings.

    Finding the best approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, try techniques together, and adjust methods based on what helps. Clients and therapist decide the pace and which strategies fit day-to-day life.

    The original profile does not list specific online formats, so confirm current session options before booking. Online care can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy routine, reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and permit sessions without needing to be on camera every time depending on the available format. Licensed professionals can use these options to match therapy to a client's schedule and needs.
