About Carey
Carey Deeters is a licensed clinical social worker with more than two decades of experience in human services. He has worked in county programs, inpatient settings, hospice, community agencies, and clinical practices. Carey has spent his career helping people through difficult life changes and the everyday stress that wears on parents and families.
He commonly addresses stress, anxiety, depression, ADHD, addiction, grief, trauma, and parenting concerns. He has also worked with mood disorders and a variety of diagnoses across the lifespan, including older adults and children in earlier roles.
Background and approach
Carey’s background includes support for family problems, divorce and separation, caregiver stress, and blended family challenges. Carey favors approaches rooted in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, but he adapts methods to match each person’s needs. He draws on solution-focused ideas and narrative techniques to help people reshape unhelpful patterns and tell a different story about themselves.
Somatic methods are used when physical responses to stress need attention. Sessions are offered in English and take place online through video calls, phone, live chat, or text messaging. Carey is licensed in Pennsylvania as an LCSW and brings practical, straightforward guidance to parents and caregivers looking for clear next steps.
He encourages a collaborative pace and supports people as they try new tools. Carey aims to help clients reduce overwhelm, improve communication at home, and find ways to manage day-to-day challenges more easily.
How Carey’s approaches translate to online work
Carey often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which looks at how thoughts and behaviors keep problems going. In practical online sessions he helps people identify unhelpful thinking and practice different responses. This approach is useful for anxiety, low mood, and parenting stress.He also draws on Motivational Interviewing to help people find their own reasons to change. That method focuses on clear goals and small steps, which can be helpful with addictions, lifestyle changes, and building motivation at home.
Finding the right approach is a team effort. Carey will talk with each person about their goals and try methods that fit their needs and preferences. He adjusts strategies based on what is working and what is not, keeping collaboration central to the process.
Online therapy makes it easier to connect from home or between errands. Video calls let therapists observe family interactions and body language. Phone sessions provide a simpler option when screens feel like too much. Live chat and text messaging can be used for brief check-ins, planning, and reinforcing skills learned in sessions. These options provide flexibility for parents and caregivers balancing busy lives.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.
Motivational Interviewing
A way of working through mixed feelings about change without being pushed. The therapist helps you weigh things up and find your own reasons, which often makes a difficult decision feel less stuck.
Narrative Therapy
Looking at the story you have come to tell about yourself, and where it came from. The work is in separating the problem from your identity and finding accounts that fit you better.
