Carrie Gheith , LCSW

Carrie Gheith is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 20 years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, trauma, and depression. She uses straightforward, person-focused care to help clients build confidence and face life changes. Carrie works from New York and holds the NY LCSW credential.

Her approach centers on listening first. She treats each person as the expert on their life and draws on their strengths to shape goals. Sessions focus on practical steps people can try between meetings and on small shifts that add up over time.

Carrie blends several methods to match different needs. She uses cognitive-behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thoughts and habits. Mindfulness practices help people calm their bodies and notice impulses without acting on them.

She also uses motivational interviewing to help people find real reasons to change. Solution-focused strategies keep conversations goal-directed and hopeful. These tools are applied to concerns like trauma, self-esteem, coping with illness, and transitions.

Her background includes work with people affected by adoption and foster care, blended family challenges, caregiver stress, domestic violence, immigration issues, and cancer-related concerns. That experience informs practical ways to handle communication problems, isolation, guilt, and finding purpose.

Carrie encourages a collaborative pace. She helps people set clear, achievable steps and checks in on what’s working. The goal is steady progress, not overnight fixes.

How therapeutic approaches work online

Client-centered therapy in Carrie's practice means starting with listening and building goals that matter to the person. The therapist follows the client's lead and uses their strengths to guide sessions, which is helpful for people feeling overwhelmed or uncertain about next steps.

Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, helps identify and change thoughts and habits that feed anxiety and low mood. Online CBT sessions often include short exercises and homework to try between meetings, which can be reviewed during video or message-based check-ins.

Mindfulness therapy teaches simple grounding and awareness skills to reduce reactivity to stress and trauma. These techniques translate well to brief exercises that can be practiced during a phone call or through text prompts offered between visits.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Carrie will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, needs, and daily life. Plans can be adjusted as progress is made so the approach stays useful and realistic.

Online therapy offers flexibility for busy schedules and different preferences. Video calls let people work face to face from wherever they are. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier on days when video feels like too much. Live chat and text-based messaging allow shorter check-ins, quick tools between sessions, and support that fits around work or caregiving responsibilities.
