About Carrie

Carrie Gheith is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in New York with 20 years of professional experience. She works with people managing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, self-esteem concerns, depression, and life changes. She also supports those facing adoption and foster care questions, blended family issues, cancer-related stress, caregiving burdens, and immigration challenges.

Carrie frames clients as the experts of their own stories and focuses on practical steps they can take. Sessions are conversation-based and aim to identify small, achievable changes. She uses talk and reflective listening to clarify what matters most to each person.

Her approach draws on methods that include client-centered work, cognitive behavioral techniques, mindfulness practices, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused strategies. That mix lets her shift between exploring feelings, spotting patterns in thinking, and planning concrete next steps. People often bring both current worries and past family issues, and she addresses those links directly.

Carrie has helped people through many kinds of life transitions over two decades. She pays attention to how guilt, shame, isolation, and family-of-origin patterns affect direction and purpose. Where relevant she will help clients examine communication problems and impulsivity that get in the way of goals.

Sessions are conducted in English from New York. Cost varies with location and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time. To begin, a prospective client completes a short matching questionnaire and schedules a first session.

How her approaches translate to online sessions

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thought and behavior patterns and testing small changes. It helps with anxiety, depression, and practical problems that block progress.

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and reflection. The therapist follows the client’s lead, clarifies goals, and supports the client in naming what matters most.

Mindfulness Therapy introduces simple attention and breathing exercises to reduce reactivity and improve moment-to-moment noticing. It can be useful for stress, anxiety, and managing overwhelming emotions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Carrie will talk with each client about their goals and preferences and then use CBT, client-centered methods, mindfulness, motivational interviewing, or solution-focused strategies as appropriate. This is a collaborative process where methods can shift over time to match what helps most.

The original profile does not specify which online session formats are offered. Please confirm current session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. These practical benefits often help people sustain regular work on goals and life purpose.
