About Carrie
Carrie Gheith is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, practicing in New York with 20 years of experience. She works with adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, depression, and life transitions. She also addresses concerns linked to adoption and foster care, blended family issues, caregiving stress, communication problems, and guilt and shame.
Carrie centers the person in the process and treats each client as the expert on their own life. She listens for strengths and practical steps that can reduce overwhelm. Sessions focus on clear, manageable goals rather than abstract labels. People who are stuck or unsure often begin by naming what feels hardest right now.
Her approach mixes client-centered care with evidence-based techniques. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to identify unhelpful thinking and try small behavioral changes. Mindfulness strategies support grounding when anxiety or painful memories arise. Motivational Interviewing and solution-focused conversations help people move from stuck to next steps.
Carrie draws on two decades of experience helping people through transitions like caregiving, medical crises, and changes in family structure. She attends to practical barriers and keeps sessions oriented to problem-solving. She helps people sort through feelings such as guilt, shame, or emptiness and find realistic ways to act differently.
If someone is ready to start, she asks them to complete a brief matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. The early meetings focus on clarifying goals and deciding which approaches will fit the person’s needs.
Approaches used in online sessions and practical fit
Client-centered work means the therapist follows the person’s lead and helps clarify what matters most. This approach is useful when someone wants their own priorities honored while working through guilt, shame, or life changes.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, involves identifying patterns of thinking that increase stress or self-criticism and testing small behavioral changes. It is often used for anxiety, low mood, and self-esteem concerns. Mindfulness Therapy offers simple practices to ground attention in the present moment and reduce reactivity to painful thoughts or memories.
Finding the right combination of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to choose methods that match the client’s needs, goals, and preferences. Early sessions are used to try approaches and adjust them based on what helps.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm the available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a weekday routine, shorten travel time, and allow for check-ins from different locations. Phone-only options may use less bandwidth and can be simpler for brief check-ins, while video supports face-to-face interaction when that is helpful.
