About Carly

Carly George is a licensed social worker (LISW) in Ohio with 14 years of experience helping people navigate stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, and a range of family and relationship challenges.

Background and approach

She emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental stance and centers the client in every step of the process, working collaboratively to shape goals and treatment plans that reflect each person's priorities. Her practice includes care for concerns such as trauma and abuse, LGBT issues, parenting and blended family dynamics, communication problems, and process addictions like gambling or compulsive behaviors.

Carly integrates evidence-informed methods including cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), client-centered techniques, mindfulness practices, motivational interviewing, and narrative approaches to tailor support to individual needs. She aims to reduce stigma and promote practical skills for coping with life changes, improving self-esteem, and managing symptoms like panic, phobia, or social anxiety.

Clients can expect an empathetic clinician who helps them clarify goals and build strategies for lasting change. Carly encourages people who feel ready to take a step toward wellbeing to begin the journey and offers flexible session formats to fit different lifestyles.

How evidence-based approaches translate to online therapy

CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with behavior change and practical exercises; it is often used for anxiety, depression, panic, phobias, and many stress-related concerns. Client-centered therapy emphasizes a respectful, empathetic stance in which the therapist listens and reflects so clients can explore their values and make their own choices. Mindfulness therapy teaches attention and acceptance skills to reduce reactivity and improve coping with difficult emotions.

Finding the right approach tends to be collaborative rather than fixed. Carly will work with each person to understand goals, preferences, and what feels most useful, and then adapt these approaches in sessions so interventions fit the client's life and pace.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which makes it easier to fit treatment into busy schedules or manage care from different locations. These formats allow licensed professionals to use CBT exercises, motivational techniques, and mindfulness practices remotely while collaborating on homework, tracking progress, and adjusting plans as needs change.
