Carrie Gheith, LCSW

Carrie Gheith is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) in New York with two decades of experience. She focuses on practical, person-centered support for stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, depression, and coping with life changes. She encourages people to take small steps toward clearer thinking and steadier days.

Carrie believes each person knows their story best and brings strengths to the work. Sessions tend to be straightforward and collaborative, with an emphasis on building confidence and motivation. She listens without judgment and helps clients turn concerns into manageable goals.

Her background includes supporting people through difficult transitions and complex life events, including adoption and foster care, blended family issues, and caregiver stress. She also addresses problems related to cancer, immigration, family of origin wounds, and feelings of emptiness or isolation.

Therapeutic tools draw on client-centered work, cognitive behavioral techniques, mindfulness, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused strategies. Those approaches are used to address symptoms and to develop day-to-day coping skills. Carrie works with clients to try small changes and notice what helps.

She invites anyone taking the first step toward therapy to complete the intake process and begin a gentle, paced plan. Sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time, and language of services is English.

Approaches that translate well to online therapy

Client-centered therapy focuses on understanding each person's needs and priorities. In practice this means the therapist listens closely, reflects what she hears, and helps clients shape goals that feel meaningful. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and behaviors influence feelings and teaches concrete skills for changing unhelpful patterns; it often helps with anxiety, depression, and stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit best. That planning considers the client's goals, preferences, and what seems most likely to produce helpful change over time.

Because session formats are not listed in the biography, confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into busy schedules, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let people use mindfulness exercises and CBT tools between sessions to practice skills in everyday life.
