Background and approach
Carey draws on years of practice in different care settings to inform his approach. Carey tends to use cognitive behavioral approaches but stays flexible. He blends methods from narrative therapy, solution-focused work, motivational interviewing, and somatic techniques.
Sessions focus on practical steps, clearer thinking, and skills people can try between meetings. In a typical session he listens to what matters most, helps set small goals, and works on strategies to reduce distress and improve daily routines. He also pays attention to life stories and how past events shape current choices.
The aim is to help people move toward a clearer sense of themselves and more manageable days. Carey practices in Pennsylvania and conducts sessions in English. He offers multiple online formats to fit different schedules and preferences, and uses a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.
Therapeutic approaches online and how they help
Carey commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy and motivational interviewing in online work. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and changing behaviors with practical exercises and homework; it often helps with anxiety, stress, and mood challenges. Motivational interviewing is a collaborative way to talk through ambivalence and build motivation for change; it can be helpful for substance use concerns, lifestyle changes, and commitment to treatment.He also draws on narrative therapy to help people reframe their life stories and see different possibilities. That approach supports people who want to understand how past experiences shape current patterns and to craft a clearer sense of self. Deciding which approach to use is a shared process; the therapist will work with each person to match methods to goals, preferences, and what feels most useful in early sessions.
Online therapy here is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions let you work face to face when you want visual connection. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when you prefer not to use a camera. Live chat and text messaging work well for brief check-ins, progress notes, or shorter touchpoints between longer sessions. These options make scheduling more flexible and help fit therapy into busy lives.
