About Carly
Carly George is an Ohio LISW with 14 years of clinical experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship and family strain, depression, parenting challenges, anger, self-esteem concerns, ADHD, and trauma and abuse.
She keeps sessions straightforward and focused on what the client wants to change. Carly uses clear tools from cognitive-behavioral work and motivational interviewing to help people make practical shifts. She also draws on client-centered and narrative approaches to help clients tell a different story about themselves.
In session, she listens without judgment and helps clients break problems into manageable steps. That might look like identifying unhelpful thought patterns, testing small behavior changes, or clarifying what a healthier boundary could be. The work emphasizes gradual changes rather than quick fixes.
Carly has a background in substance use, mental health, and family-focused therapy. Over 14 years she has supported people through addiction concerns, process addictions, and drug and alcohol problems alongside mood and anxiety issues. Her experience includes helping with blended family dynamics and family of origin matters.
She invites clients to shape their own goals and to lead the plan of care. Sessions combine practical strategies with reflective work so clients can both manage current crises and build skills for future stressors. Carly asks new clients to use a short matching questionnaire to start the process.
How Carly uses evidence-based approaches online
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and following the client's lead. It helps people clarify what matters most and set personal goals, which can be useful when anger feels tied to relationships or identity.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It offers practical exercises such as thought records and behavioral experiments to reduce reactivity and test new responses to anger triggers.
Motivational Interviewing helps people find their own reasons to change. It is helpful when anger relates to substance use, process addictions, or when someone feels stuck and unsure about next steps.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Carly will collaborate with each person to decide which methods to try first, based on symptoms, goals, and what feels most useful. That means adjusting tools over time rather than sticking to a single technique.
Confirm the session formats Carly currently offers before booking so you know what to expect. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. Therapists and licensed professionals commonly use these benefits to keep progress steady while fitting sessions into everyday life.
