About Carly

Carly George is a licensed social worker (LISW) with 14 years of experience helping people navigate substance use, mood concerns, relationship challenges, and life transitions. She works from a respectful, nonjudgmental stance and supports clients coping with stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, trauma, ADHD, and related concerns.

Background and approach

Carly emphasizes collaboration so clients shape their own goals while she provides guidance and clinical expertise. Her practice blends evidence-based methods such as cognitive behavioral therapy and motivational interviewing with client-centered and narrative strategies to tailor treatment to each person’s needs.

Carly has additional experience addressing communication and blended family issues, panic and phobias, process addictions, and self-esteem and self-love work. She aims to create a supportive space where people can pursue practical changes, build coping skills, and explore stories that influence current patterns.

Based in Ohio, Carly offers a compassionate approach that privileges client choice and gradual progress. She encourages anyone ready to take a step toward change to begin the process of matching and scheduling a session.

Approaches that translate well to online care

Client-centered therapy focuses on meeting people where they are and prioritizing their goals and values. This approach emphasizes active listening and building a therapeutic relationship that supports exploration and personal decision making. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) teaches concrete strategies to identify unhelpful thoughts and change behavioral patterns, which is useful for concerns like anxiety, depression, panic, and some forms of addictive behavior. Motivational interviewing helps people explore ambivalence and strengthen their own motivation to change, making it a practical fit for substance use or behavior change work.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each client to consider goals, preferences, and how symptoms show up in daily life to decide which methods to prioritize and when to integrate different techniques. That partnership helps create a plan that is responsive and adjustable over time.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility and access. These formats allow clients to work on skills, receive coaching between sessions, and fit therapy into busy schedules while maintaining continuity of care with licensed professionals.
