Carly George, LISW

Carly George is a licensed independent social worker with 14 years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and substance use concerns. She works with adults who are dealing with relationship and family strains, parenting pressures, addiction, or the changes that come with life transitions. Carly uses straightforward language and a respectful, nonjudgmental approach in sessions.

She centers the person seeking help, listening first to understand what matters most. Carly collaborates with each client to set clear, achievable goals. She encourages practical steps clients can try between sessions to build momentum and notice small changes.

Carly blends cognitive behavioral ideas with client-centered and motivational techniques. That combination helps people challenge unhelpful thoughts, build motivation to change, and feel heard while they do it. She also draws on mindfulness and narrative methods to help people notice patterns and rewrite unhelpful stories about themselves.

Her fourteen years of practice include work in substance use, mental health, and family-focused settings across Ohio. That background informs how she helps people facing addiction, blended family issues, and communication problems. Clients can expect direct problem-solving alongside attention to emotions and relationships.

Carly offers sessions by video call, phone, live chat, or text messaging to fit different schedules. She supports people working through panic, phobias, social anxiety, ADHD-related challenges, and young adult concerns. If someone wants a collaborative, respectful therapist who emphasizes practical steps, she aims to be that partner.

Practical approaches for online therapy

CBT, or cognitive behavioral therapy, focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It is useful for anxiety, panic, phobias, low mood, and patterns that keep problems going. Client-centered therapy emphasizes listening, acceptance, and creating a respectful space so people can find their own solutions and build confidence.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Carly will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences, then try approaches that fit. This is a collaborative process and she adjusts methods based on what helps the client make progress.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction for skills practice, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat is useful for shorter check-ins, and text messaging supports ongoing check-ins and brief reflections. These options help people fit therapy into work, school, or busy family schedules while using approaches like CBT and client-centered care.
