About Carly

Carly Andrews is an LPC practicing in Texas who uses evidence-informed methods to help people manage stress, anxiety, grief, addiction, and other emotional challenges.

Background and approach

She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy along with acceptance and emotion-focused strategies to help clients identify unhelpful patterns, build practical skills, and pursue values-driven changes. With seven years of clinical experience, she brings a calm, compassionate presence and an emphasis on collaboration.

Her work addresses a broad range of concerns including mood disorders such as depression and bipolar symptoms, trauma and abuse, substance and behavioral addictions, intimacy and relationship struggles, and issues around identity and LGBT matters. Carly also focuses on practical life challenges like sleep and eating difficulties, career transitions, parenting stress, and compassion fatigue.

She pays attention to attachment-related dynamics, family of origin patterns, and co-occurring problems that complicate recovery. Carly frames therapy as a partnership that honors each person’s strengths and goals.

She aims to support increased self-awareness, improved communication, and sustainable coping strategies so clients can move through life changes with greater resilience and clarity.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, teaching practical strategies to reduce anxiety, depression, and problematic habits. In online sessions this can include collaboratively setting goals, experimenting with new skills between sessions, and reviewing progress together.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) emphasizes values-based living and learning to accept difficult internal experiences while committing to meaningful action. This approach can help with grief, stress, and motivation issues by clarifying what matters most and building small steps toward those goals.

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at relationship patterns and emotional bonds formed across the lifespan, helping people understand how early connections influence current intimacy, communication, and trust. Online work can explore these dynamics through discussion, reflective exercises, and skill practice with an emphasis on repairing or reshaping relational habits.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss preferences, goals, and strengths to decide whether CBT, ACT, attachment work, or a blended approach best fits the client’s needs, adjusting the plan as progress unfolds.

Online therapy offers flexibility with video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging so clients can engage in ways that fit their schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity during busy or transitional periods, and they allow therapists and clients to focus on practical skill-building, emotional processing, and real-world application of strategies.
