About Carly

Carly George is a licensed independent social worker (LISW) who offers practical, down-to-earth support for people dealing with anxiety, stress, addiction, and life transitions.

Background and approach

Carly helps people set goals and take concrete next steps toward them. Her style is nonjudgmental and respectful. Sessions focus on what the client wants to change, not labels.

She blends methods such as cognitive behavioral techniques, motivational interviewing, and client-centered listening to match each person's needs. Carly works collaboratively to build a plan that fits a person's situation and preferences. That can mean practicing skills for panic or social anxiety, talking through relationship communication issues, or addressing substance use and process addictions like gambling and pornography.

She offers sessions that suit different rhythms and schedules, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Carly practices in Ohio and conducts therapy in English.

Approaches that guide online work and skills practice

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It is useful for panic, phobias, social anxiety, and low self-esteem because it teaches clear skills you can practice between sessions.

Client-Centered Therapy centers the person's goals and experience. The therapist listens without judgment, reflects what matters most, and helps people decide their next steps. This approach supports people facing relationship, family, or identity concerns by prioritizing their values and choices.

Finding the best approach is a collaborative process. Carly will talk with each person about goals and try strategies that match those goals. Together they’ll adjust techniques over time based on what helps most and what feels right for the client.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls are good for face-to-face conversation and skill practice. Phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging suit short check-ins, quick coaching, or people who prefer to write rather than speak. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules and to continue work between meetings.
