About Carey

Carey Deeters is a licensed clinical social worker with 23 years of experience working across county, inpatient, hospice, community-based, and clinical settings.

Background and approach

He has provided services for children, adults, and older adults, addressing a wide range of concerns such as substance use disorders, grief and loss, trauma and abuse, parenting and family issues, mood disorders, anxiety, and ADHD.

His background includes work with diagnoses like major depressive disorder, generalized anxiety, autism spectrum conditions, oppositional and disruptive mood dysregulation disorders, OCD, bipolar disorders, and personality-related difficulties. Carey favors a practical, skills-oriented approach rooted in cognitive behavioral therapy and REBT while remaining flexible in his use of narrative, solution-focused, somatic, and motivational techniques.

He aims to help clients reflect on how past experiences shape current patterns and to build concrete tools for coping, communication, and behavioral change. Carey emphasizes collaboration and empowerment, supporting people to define clearer goals and take manageable steps toward a more satisfying life.

He is licensed to practice in Pennsylvania as LCSW and brings decades of front-line clinical experience to his work with clients.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Carey uses cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) in a practical, skills-focused way to identify unhelpful thoughts and build concrete strategies for managing anxiety, depression, ADHD-related challenges, and stress. Motivational interviewing is another element he may use to help people clarify their own reasons for change and strengthen commitment when facing addictions, behavioral shifts, or ambivalence.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Carey works collaboratively with clients to figure out which combination of methods fits their goals, preferences, and life context. He emphasizes partnership and practical goal-setting so clients help steer the plan and adjust techniques as progress unfolds.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility for work, caregiving, or geographic constraints. These formats make it possible to maintain continuity of care while using the therapist's evidence-informed tools and exercises, and to schedule sessions in ways that fit a client's routine and needs.
