About Carrie
Carrie Gheith is a licensed clinical social worker in New York who uses person-centered care to help people facing stress, anxiety, trauma, and depression. She draws on twenty years of experience to offer steady, practical support. Carrie keeps language simple and focuses on concrete steps people can try between sessions.
Her approach begins with listening. She believes each person knows their story best and works alongside them to set achievable goals.
Background and approach
Carrie blends client-centered work with cognitive behavioral techniques to help people identify thought patterns and try new behaviors. Mindfulness skills are introduced in short, doable practices that fit into busy days. Motivational interviewing helps when people feel stuck or unsure what to change.
Solution-focused methods are used to find immediate steps that move a situation forward. She has worked with people dealing with life transitions, caregiving stress, adoption and foster care concerns, blended family issues, and health-related stress such as cancer. Other focuses include family of origin matters, communication problems, isolation, and managing guilt or shame.
Carrie aims for clear, calm sessions where clients leave with at least one practical idea to try. Her style is collaborative and grounded in real-world solutions rather than jargon. She offers video, phone, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different schedules and needs.
Practical approaches for online therapy and coping
Client-centered therapy focuses on respectful listening and collaboration. It means the therapist follows the person's lead, clarifies what matters most, and builds goals together. This approach helps when someone needs space to make sense of their feelings and decide on next steps.Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It uses short exercises and experiments to test unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors, which can reduce anxiety and depression symptoms over time. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention practices to reduce reactivity and create calmer moments during a busy day.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk through options and adjust methods based on the client's needs, goals, and preferences. That collaboration helps shape clear, realistic steps rather than a one-size-fits-all plan.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different routines. Video works well for deeper conversations, phone is useful when bandwidth is limited, and chat or messaging can handle quick check-ins or brief coaching between meetings. These formats make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, caregiving, or other commitments.
