About Carly
Carly George is an Ohio LISW - a Licensed Independent Social Worker - with 14 years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship and family issues, depression, trauma and abuse, and young adult issues among other concerns.
She focuses on straightforward, respectful conversations about what is happening now. Sessions center on the client's goals and practical steps to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning. Carly uses clear techniques from cognitive behavioral approaches alongside client-centered and motivational methods to help people make changes they choose.
Her background includes long experience in substance use and family therapy settings. That history informs work with drug and alcohol addiction, process addictions, and problems tied to family of origin or blended family dynamics. She also addresses panic, phobias, social anxiety, and ADHD-related struggles in day-to-day life.
In session she avoids labels that get in the way of progress. Treatment planning is collaborative - the client sets priorities and she offers tools, strategies, and questions to test what helps. For many people that looks like skills practice, reality-testing of unhelpful thoughts, and exploring motivations to change.
Carly supports people navigating life changes and the pressure points common in early adulthood. She will help sort priorities, work on communication problems, and address self-esteem or relationship patterns that keep someone stuck.
How her approaches work for online sessions
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. In practice this means identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and trying small experiments or new behaviors to reduce anxiety, panic, or low mood. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and the client’s agenda. The therapist reflects back concerns, clarifies goals, and supports the client in making their own choices and plans.Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. Carly will work with each person to pick methods that suit their goals, daily routine, and comfort level. That plan can change as progress is made or priorities shift, and adjustments are part of the work together.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available online options before booking. Many people find online sessions help fit therapy into work, school, or busy days because they remove travel time and allow easier scheduling. Others prefer shorter check-ins when time is tight, or audio-only conversations when bandwidth or cameras are an issue. Ask about practical arrangements when you schedule the first session so the format matches your needs.
