Carlos Beivides, LCSW

Carlos Beivides is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who focuses on stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, anger, and depression. He draws on ten years of clinical experience to help people facing intense emotional pain and life disruptions.

Carlos uses clear, direct methods in sessions. He sets goals with each person and works step by step toward them. Expect practical skills and straightforward conversations aimed at everyday changes.

His background includes work with trauma-related concerns, including post-traumatic stress and experiences linked to sexual assault and abuse. He also supports people coping with guilt, shame, isolation, and difficulties returning to work or routine after a major life event.

Carlos incorporates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, and Imago Relationship Therapy into his work. He blends these approaches to match a person’s needs rather than use one fixed method.

Sessions can address communication problems, control issues, commitment doubts, and challenges tied to family roles. He also has experience with first responder and veteran-related concerns, and with consequences of traumatic brain injury.

Carlos practices from New York and conducts therapy in English. He aims to create a nonjudgmental space where thoughts and feelings can be discussed and where concrete steps are taken to reduce distress and improve daily functioning.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and changing the behaviors that keep problems going. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and many stress-related concerns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy teaches concrete skills for tolerating strong emotions, managing distress, and improving interpersonal effectiveness, which can help with anger and emotional overwhelm. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and responding to a person's experience so goals and solutions emerge from their values and priorities.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about symptoms, goals, and preferences and then recommend a blend of methods. This is a collaborative process that can be adjusted as therapy progresses.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation for skill practice and coaching. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a camera is not wanted. Live chat and text messaging can be useful for brief check-ins, tracking progress, or communicating between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and different routines.
