About Carey

Carey grounds his work in cognitive behavioral approaches, including CBT and REBT, while drawing on motivational interviewing, narrative, solution-focused, and somatic techniques as the situation requires. He aims to tailor interventions to each person so they can better understand how they arrived where they are and take concrete steps toward meaningful change.
Carey emphasizes collaboration, practical skills, and empowerment to help clients move toward a more satisfying and peaceful life. He practices in Pennsylvania and conducts sessions in English.
Carey’s background across many settings informs a flexible, pragmatic style that supports clients facing stress, anxiety, relationship and family difficulties, addiction concerns, trauma, grief, parenting challenges, and a wide array of other issues.
How Carey’s Approaches Work Online
Carey often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients identify and change patterns of thinking and behavior that contribute to problems like anxiety, depression, and stress. CBT focuses on practical, skill-based strategies that can reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning. He also integrates Motivational Interviewing when motivation or ambivalence about change is part of the challenge; this approach emphasizes exploring a client’s values and reasons for change to build commitment and momentum.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Carey partners with clients to assess needs, goals, and preferences, and then blends methods when that better serves recovery and growth. He frames the work as a shared effort, adjusting strategies over time to match what proves most helpful for each person.
Online therapy offers flexibility in how and when people connect. Carey provides video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging so clients can choose the format that fits their schedule and comfort level. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, practice skills between sessions, and access support from Pennsylvania without traveling to an office.
