Ohan Carter, LCSW - Therapist in New York

About Ohan

Ohan Carter is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in New York. She focuses on practical support for parents and families. Her work centers on everyday problems that affect home life and relationships.

She listens first and asks clear questions about what is most urgent. Sessions aim to surface strengths and build simple plans that fit family routines. Ohan uses plain language and keeps goals concrete so busy parents can follow through between visits.

Background and approach

Her background includes three years of formal practice as an LCSW in New York. She draws on approaches like client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy to shape sessions, and she brings motivational interviewing and solution-focused tools when a focused push is needed. In sessions she helps parents manage anger, strengthen communication, and address stress from caregiving or life changes.

She also supports work on self-esteem, grief, trauma, and issues related to adoption and foster care. Cultural and multicultural concerns are part of her consideration when relevant. Ohan works with parenting challenges alongside related topics such as workplace stress, forgiveness, and finding life purpose.

Her style blends listening with small, actionable steps so people leave with a clear next move.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and reflecting back what matters to the client. It helps parents feel heard and name practical goals for family life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the thoughts and patterns that influence feelings and behavior and teaches concrete skills to shift those patterns. It is useful for managing anger, stress, and mood-related concerns.

Choosing the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't worked before. Together they will try methods that fit the family routine and adjust the plan as progress is made.

Online formats make fitting therapy into a busy life easier. Video calls let people use visual cues when discussing parenting moments. Phone sessions remove the need to be on camera when that feels better. Live chat and text-based messaging allow short check-ins and real-time coaching between sessions. These options increase flexibility and make it simpler to keep therapy consistent around caregiving and work commitments.

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.

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.
