About Carey
Carey Deeters has worked in human services since 2000 and brings 23 years of practical experience to his work. He holds a Licensed Clinical Social Worker credential, LCSW, and practices in Pennsylvania. Carey has worked in county agencies, inpatient settings, hospice, community programs, and clinical clinics.
He helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, substance use, grief, trauma, and many life changes. Carey uses straightforward, practical methods in sessions. He leans on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and related approaches, but adapts tools to each person.
Background and approach
That means talking through patterns, trying small changes, and tracking what helps in daily life. Sessions aim to make things clearer and more manageable rather than rely on jargon. His background includes work across age groups and service settings, so he is familiar with a wide range of challenges.
He has supported people with mood disorders, attention differences, disruptive behavior concerns, and complex reactions to loss or trauma. Carey also addresses relationship and family stress, parenting strain, and issues around intimacy and identity. People who do best with Carey are looking for practical steps and honest conversation.
He focuses on helping clients notice what’s not working and try alternative ways of coping. Progress is paced to each person’s needs, with room to adjust strategies as life changes. Carey offers several ways to meet, including video calls, phone, live chat, and text messaging.
Sessions are arranged through a subscription scheduling process that can be canceled at any time. He works in English and practices in Pennsylvania.
Approaches that translate well to online therapy
Carey commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce anxiety and low mood. CBT is practical and often works well in short, goal-oriented sessions for problems like worry, depression, and stress.He also draws on Motivational Interviewing, a conversational method that helps people find their own reasons to change. That approach is useful when people feel stuck or unsure about making changes related to substance use, health habits, or life transitions.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Carey collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, comfort level, and day-to-day life. Plans are adjusted over time based on what helps and what doesn't.
Online sessions offer flexibility in how people connect. Video calls let the therapist and client see each other and work through exercises together. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth or screen time is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging can provide shorter check-ins, reminders, or step-by-step support between fuller sessions. These options help people fit therapy into busy schedules or moments when a quick connection is needed.
