About Carly

Carly Montroy is a licensed mental health counselor who helps people struggling with stress, anxiety, mood concerns, and relationship challenges. She supports those facing trauma, low self-esteem, and motivation difficulties. Carly emphasizes practical steps and steady support so parents and caregivers can find clearer ways forward.

She believes each person knows their story best and brings out strengths already present. Sessions focus on small, manageable changes that fit daily life.

Background and approach

Carly listens closely and helps clients set goals they feel ready to try. Her work draws from cognitive behavioral techniques and mindfulness strategies to reduce distress and build coping skills. She also uses client-centered conversations and narrative tools to reframe problems and boost self-understanding.

Motivation-focused methods help people move from thinking about change to taking action. With seven years of professional experience and a New York LMHC license, Carly blends practical tools with a supportive presence. Parents looking for clearer communication, better stress management, or steadier moods often find the sessions practical and focused.

Carly’s approach aims to make progress feel achievable, one step at a time. Background and approach: Carly trained to use evidence-based methods in ways that feel down-to-earth. She wants therapy to fit daily life, not add more burden.

Over time she helps people notice what works, adjust what doesn’t, and strengthen coping after setbacks. Her goal is to help clients build confidence and move toward a more satisfying life.

Approaches that translate well to online therapy

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors. In short video or phone sessions Carly can teach simple tools to reduce anxiety and manage low mood. Mindfulness Therapy introduces short attention and breathing exercises to reduce overwhelm and improve emotional awareness. These practices can be guided in live sessions and practiced between meetings.

Client-Centered Therapy centers on listening and reflecting so the client feels heard and respected. This approach helps people clarify their goals and decide what changes feel right for them. Carly works collaboratively to figure out which of these approaches fits a client’s needs, goals, and preferences rather than using a one-size-fits-all plan.

Online therapy offers practical benefits for busy families and individuals. Video calls and phone sessions let people meet from home while live chat or text-based messaging provide short, flexible check-ins between sessions. These options make it easier to use new skills in everyday moments and keep momentum when schedules are tight.

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.
