About Carly
Carly George is an Ohio LISW - Licensed Independent Social Worker with 14 years of experience. She works with adults who are facing stress, anxiety, depression, substance use, relationship and family concerns. Carly also helps people dealing with parenting challenges, ADHD, and issues tied to family of origin.
She keeps sessions focused on the person's goals. Carly adapts common therapeutic tools like cognitive behavioral techniques and motivational interviewing to address concrete problems. She places emphasis on communication skills, managing strong emotions, and reducing avoidant or compulsive behaviors related to addiction.
Her way of working is collaborative. Clients map out what they want to change and she helps break those aims into small steps. Conversations may include examining unhelpful thoughts, trying brief behavioral experiments, and practised mindfulness exercises to reduce reactivity.
Carly has substantial experience in substance use and mental health settings. That background informs practical strategies for relapse prevention, craving management, and rebuilding relationships affected by addiction or repeated conflict. She also supports people navigating blended family dynamics and the fallout from repeating patterns that began in childhood.
Sessions are conversational and goal-oriented. Carly uses tools from narrative and solution-focused work to help people reframe difficult stories and identify next steps. Her practice centers on helping adults notice how family patterns influence current choices and then testing new ways of thinking and acting.
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person's goals and priorities. In practice this means the therapist listens for what matters most and helps shape sessions around those aims. It suits people who want an approach driven by their values and timing.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions. Sessions often include identifying unhelpful thoughts, trying small behavioral experiments, and practicing new skills between meetings. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, panic, and many pattern-based problems from family history.
Mindfulness Therapy introduces simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and increase awareness. These exercises can help with stress, cravings, and moments of strong emotion that come up when old family patterns repeat.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Carly will collaborate with each person to decide which methods match their goals, needs, and preferences. That decision is revisited as progress is made and circumstances change.
Confirm the exact session formats before booking because the biography did not list them. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, or remove travel time. Many people find that meeting remotely helps sustain momentum between appointments and keeps practice exercises easier to apply to daily life.
