About Carly
Carly George is a Licensed Independent Social Worker (LISW) based in Ohio with 14 years of clinical experience. She focuses on practical help for people facing stress, anxiety, depression, addiction, relationship strain, parenting challenges, and ADHD. Carly emphasizes respect and a nonjudgmental attitude in every session.
She prefers a straightforward, client-led approach. Carly listens first to understand what matters most, then works with the person to set clear, achievable goals.
Background and approach
Sessions tend to center on skills people can use between meetings, like new ways to manage worry or handle conflict. Carly draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to help identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. She also uses client-centered methods to keep therapy grounded in each person's values and priorities.
Mindfulness practices and motivational strategies are woven in when they fit the client's needs. Her experience includes substance use and family-focused work, so she often helps people untangle communication problems, blended family issues, and family of origin patterns. Carly also supports people dealing with process addictions and panic symptoms, offering step-by-step plans for change.
Sessions are collaborative and paced by the client's readiness. Carly aims to reduce shame and build skills that make daily life easier. She offers straightforward feedback and concrete tools so people can notice progress between sessions.
Approach and online therapy that adapts to you
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people spot unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors to reduce anxiety and depression. It focuses on small, testable changes that can improve daily functioning and mood.Client-Centered Therapy centers sessions around the person's priorities. The therapist listens closely, reflects what she hears, and supports the client in choosing goals and the pace of work. Mindfulness Therapy adds simple attention and breathing practices to help manage stress and strong emotions in the moment.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Carly works collaboratively to decide which methods fit a person's needs and preferences. She reviews options together and adjusts techniques based on progress and feedback.
Online formats offer several practical benefits. Video calls allow a face-to-face experience when visual connection is helpful. Phone sessions can be useful when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging are convenient for brief check-ins, homework review, or when a shorter touchpoint fits a busy day. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent and flexible around work, schooling, and family responsibilities.
