About Carmen
Carmen Gomez Abreu is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Florida with 30 years of experience. She works with adults dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, and life changes, and offers support around parenting, intimacy, career questions, and identity issues including LGBT concerns.
Her approach blends practical skills with attention to how early family patterns affect present life. She uses methods that include Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Attachment-Based work to help people notice habits, test new behaviors, and strengthen important relationships. Sessions focus on clear steps clients can try between meetings.
Carmen frames conversations around what a person wants to change and what currently gets in the way. She emphasizes building skills for emotional regulation and clearer communication. When patterns trace back to family of origin or attachment experiences, she helps people name those patterns and decide which changes matter most.
Her background includes long clinical experience with grief, trauma and abuse, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and complex co-morbidity. She also supports people facing caregiving stress, blended family issues, adoption and foster care questions, and challenges linked to aging.
Sessions are offered in English and Spanish, and she accepts international clients. Costs vary by location and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time. To begin, the site’s matching questionnaire is completed and a first session is scheduled.
How therapeutic approaches are used in online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying values and taking small committed actions toward them while learning to notice unhelpful thoughts. It can be useful for anxiety, low motivation, and when family expectations conflict with personal goals. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns and helps people identify and adjust those patterns in relationships. It is often applied when family of origin issues or attachment difficulties affect closeness and trust.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and teaches practical strategies to change them. It is commonly used for anxiety, depression, and managing strong emotions. Carmen will work collaboratively to see which combination of approaches fits the client’s concerns, goals, and preferences rather than prescribing one method from the start.
Practical benefits of online work include fitting sessions into a busy schedule and reducing travel time. Because the exact session formats are not listed in the biography, confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to have shorter check-ins, use video when helpful, or choose audio-only meetings when bandwidth is limited. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises and between-session tasks so clients can practice skills in everyday life.
