About Carrie

Carrie Gheith is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in New York with 20 years of practice. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, depression, and life changes. Carrie also addresses concerns tied to adoption and foster care, blended family issues, caregiver strain, cancer, immigration, and questions about life purpose.

Carrie centers sessions on the client's own experience. She treats each person as the expert on their story and looks for strengths to build on. Conversations focus on concrete skills and steps, not labels. The aim is to help people manage intense feelings and make choices that feel workable in daily life.

Her approach uses practical, evidence-informed methods. She draws on client-centered work to follow what matters most to the person. She uses cognitive behavioral ideas to notice unhelpful thinking and try new behaviors. Mindfulness and solution-focused techniques appear when they fit the client's goals.

Carrie has worked across settings for two decades, supporting people through transitions and difficult events. She often helps those coping with family of origin issues, communication problems, guilt, shame, and feelings of emptiness or isolation. Sessions address both immediate coping and longer term questions about purpose and direction.

People meet with her when they need steady, straightforward support during change. She offers a practical style that blends listening with clear tools. To begin, users complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.

How Carrie’s approaches translate to online work

Client-centered therapy focuses on the person’s priorities. Online sessions let the therapist follow what matters most and shape sessions around those goals. This approach helps when someone is unsure what to focus on and wants a conversational, listening-based format.

Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions interact. In an online session CBT can be used to identify unhelpful thinking and practice alternative behaviors between meetings. That practical focus suits worries, anxiety, and patterns that keep people stuck.

Mindfulness-based techniques teach simple attention practices to reduce reactivity and increase moment-to-moment awareness. These can be brief exercises used during sessions and as short daily practices to manage stress or low mood.

Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work together. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which approaches fit their goals, needs, and preferences. That decision is revisited as progress unfolds so the plan stays useful.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Many people choose online work to fit sessions into busy days, to have shorter check-ins when needed, or to use audio-only meetings when bandwidth is limited. The focus is on practical ways to fit therapy into everyday life rather than on a single fixed setup.
