About Carmen
Carmen Gomez Abreu is a Florida licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) with 30 years of practice. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, parenting pressures, and life transitions. She also supports people with trauma and grief and those navigating issues related to identity and caregiving.
Carmen uses practical, evidence-informed methods to help people manage day-to-day problems. She listens for patterns in thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, then helps clients try different ways of responding. Sessions focus on skills you can use between meetings and on clearer communication at home and work.
Her background includes long-term clinical work in community settings and individual psychotherapy. Over three decades she has worked with concerns from mood disorders and bipolar conditions to attention difficulties and compassion fatigue. This gives her familiarity with complex, overlapping issues that affect family life and caregiving roles.
Carmen integrates approaches such as cognitive behavioral techniques, acceptance and commitment ideas, attachment perspectives, and skills from dialectical behavior therapy. She pulls from client-centered practice to keep sessions focused on each person’s priorities. Conversations are practical and paced to fit daily life.
She provides services in English and Spanish and accepts international clients. For people thinking about starting, Carmen asks a few questions first to match goals and plan sessions that fit work and home routines.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and commit to actions that match their values. It is useful for stress, anxiety, and coping with life changes by focusing on what matters rather than on eliminating difficult feelings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings, and behavior and teaches clear skills for managing mood, anxiety, and everyday problems.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Carmen will collaborate with each person to pick methods that fit their goals, needs, and preferences. That might mean trying a skills-based plan for a few sessions or focusing on attachment patterns that affect relationships at home.
The practical benefit of online sessions is fitting therapy into a busy life. Confirm the current session options before booking so you know how meetings are scheduled. Online work can make it easier to have shorter check-ins, move sessions around a workday, or avoid travel time. Therapists will discuss a plan for exercises and homework that fit your routine.
