Carey Deeters , LCSW

Carey Deeters is a licensed clinical social worker with 23 years in human services. He has worked across county, inpatient, hospice, community, and clinical settings. Carey helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, addiction, parenting challenges, and relationship or intimacy-related struggles.

His experience includes supporting people with mood and attention concerns such as bipolar disorder and ADHD, as well as autism spectrum traits and disruptive mood dysregulation disorder. He has also guided clients through trauma, abuse, substance use issues, and end-of-life or caregiver strain.

Carey favors practical, skills-focused approaches. He often uses cognitive behavioral strategies to identify unhelpful thoughts and change behaviors. He pairs that work with motivational interviewing to build readiness for change and solution-focused methods to set short-term, manageable goals.

Sessions are collaborative and paced to each person. Carey aims to help clients understand how they arrived at their current struggles and what small steps can move them toward greater calm and satisfaction. He listens for strengths and points out options that fit daily life.

People who appreciate clear guidance, concrete tools, and a calm clinician may find his style useful. Carey provides care in English and practices in Pennsylvania, bringing long experience across age groups and service settings.

Approaches that translate well to online care

CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, focuses on noticing unhelpful thoughts and changing behaviors that keep problems going. It is often used for anxiety, depression, stress, and many mood or attention concerns. Motivational Interviewing is a conversational method that helps people weigh options and find their own reasons to change; it can support readiness for substance use work, behavior change, or parenting shifts.

Carey views finding the right approach as a collaborative task. He will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before, then adjust techniques as needed. That means trying concrete tools, checking how they feel, and changing course together when something isn’t helpful.

Online formats make fitting sessions into busy lives easier. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and demonstration of skills exercises. Phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth or camera use is limited. Live chat or text-based messaging work well for quick check-ins, homework review, or shorter coaching-style exchanges between longer sessions. These options support flexibility so therapy can happen around work, caregiving, or other daily demands.
