About Carly
Carly George is a licensed independent social worker with 14 years of clinical experience who focuses on family and parenting concerns. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and family problems, and substance use. Carly aims to create a respectful, nonjudgmental space where the person sets the pace and goals for change.
Her sessions are guided by the client’s priorities and grounded in practical methods. She often uses cognitive behavioral techniques to help change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors.
Background and approach
Motivational interviewing supports people through ambivalence, especially around addiction and substance use. Narrative and client-centered approaches help clients make sense of their stories and regain agency. Carly has a history of working across mental health, substance use, and family therapy settings.
That background shapes how she supports people dealing with blended family issues, communication problems, and family of origin concerns. She also addresses panic and phobias, process addictions, social anxiety, and young adult challenges. Sessions can include skills practice, problem-solving, and conversational exploration of values and goals.
Carly avoids stigmatizing labels and focuses on practical steps that match what the client wants to achieve. Her Ohio license is listed as OH LISW I.1430042-SUPV. Therapy can feel hard at first, and Carly acknowledges the courage it takes to reach out.
She collaborates with each person to build a plan and adjusts that plan as needs change. Work proceeds at a pace the client chooses.
Therapeutic approaches and online options
Client-centered therapy emphasizes listening, respect, and meeting the client where they are; it helps people who need a supportive space to sort priorities and values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and is useful for anxiety, depression, panic, and many everyday problems. Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative way of talking that helps when someone feels unsure about change, such as with substance use or lifestyle shifts.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Carly collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, mixing techniques as needed and adjusting over time. The plan is shaped by the client’s needs, preferences, and progress rather than a fixed protocol.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy family schedules, continue work while traveling, or check in between appointments. Licensed professionals can use these formats to teach skills, practice communication, and follow up on goals in ways that fit daily life.
Client-Centered Therapy
The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.
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.
Mindfulness Therapy
Attention training: noticing thoughts and physical feelings as they arrive without being carried off by them. Much of it is practice you do yourself, so guidance over video or audio works much as it would in person.
