About Carly
Carly George is an Ohio LISW - licensed independent social worker with 14 years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, addiction concerns, relationship and family challenges, parenting strains, trauma and related concerns. Carly also lists work with LGBT issues, ADHD, anger, and self-esteem difficulties.
She keeps sessions practical and direct. Conversations center on the client's goals and priorities. Carly uses clear methods such as cognitive behavioral techniques, motivational interviewing, and narrative approaches to help people spot patterns and try new responses.
Her background includes long experience in substance use and mental health settings alongside family-focused work. That history informs how she looks at communication problems, blended family dynamics, and family of origin issues. She also brings experience with panic, phobias, and process addictions such as gambling or problematic sexual behavior.
In a session Carly helps people name a problem, test small changes, and revise plans that do not work. She draws on solution-focused strategies to set manageable steps and on client-centered ideas to prioritize what the person wants. Mindfulness techniques are offered for stress, anxiety, and grounding during difficult moments.
People who are juggling parenting, complicated family ties, or recovery-related choices will find a therapist who emphasizes respectful, nonjudgmental conversation. Carly asks about goals, highlights achievable next steps, and reviews progress as work continues.
How sessions work
Therapeutic approaches and working online
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people spot unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors. It is often used for anxiety, panic, and mood concerns and emphasizes practical exercises between sessions.Motivational Interviewing focuses on a person's own reasons for change. It supports people facing substance use challenges or ambivalence about a goal by exploring values and building motivation in small steps.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods to try based on goals, needs, and what feels most useful. That plan can be adjusted as progress is reviewed.
