Denise Carey, LCSW

Denise Carey is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Pennsylvania with 24 years of experience in behavioral health counseling. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, addiction, parenting challenges, grief, trauma and abuse, and issues related to ADHD and bipolar disorder.

She offers a straightforward, person-focused approach. Sessions look at current problems and practical steps to change patterns that cause distress. Denise draws on methods that help people manage mood, improve communication, and make clearer decisions about relationships and caregiving responsibilities.

Her background includes long experience in crisis assessment, including work with civilians and veterans who have had suicidal thoughts. That time in crisis work influences how she prioritizes safety and clear plans when feelings become overwhelming.

Denise uses several clinical approaches to guide her work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people identify thinking patterns that feed anxiety or depression. Client-Centered Therapy puts the client’s goals at the center of each session. Motivational Interviewing and solution-focused ideas support change when someone feels stuck or uncertain about next steps.

She often helps people who are parenting or managing blended family dynamics, caregiver stress, and the strain that comes from long-term illness or end-of-life concerns. Conversations tend to be practical, with strategies you can try between sessions and regular check-ins on what’s working.

Sessions are conducted in English and reflect Denise’s practice in Pennsylvania. If you want to move forward, confirm the current session formats and scheduling options before booking.
