About Carly
Carly Montroy is a New York licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) with seven years of clinical experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, trauma and abuse, and struggles with self-esteem and motivation.
Background and approach
She works with clients coping with major life changes, anger, bipolar mood concerns, family conflict, and issues related to isolation or communication difficulties. Carly also brings attention to neurodiversity and cognitive differences, including autism and Asperger syndrome, and supports clients facing intellectual disability and post-traumatic stress.
Her therapeutic stance centers on respect for each person's story and strengths, inviting clients to take an active role in shaping therapy. She integrates cognitive behavioral techniques alongside client-centered listening and mindfulness practices, and draws on motivational interviewing and narrative strategies to help people reframe patterns and pursue meaningful change.
Carly emphasizes collaboration and gradual skill-building to address both immediate symptoms and longer-term goals. Clients who choose her can expect a compassionate, practical approach that balances emotional understanding with tools for coping and communication.
She encourages the courage it takes to begin therapy and stays focused on helping clients move toward greater confidence, connection, and daily functioning.
Approaches That Translate to Online Care
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and practicing concrete skills to change emotions and behaviors; it is often useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with life transitions. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental therapeutic relationship where the client’s own goals guide the work, supporting self-exploration and confidence building. Mindfulness Therapy teaches present-moment awareness and acceptance skills that can reduce stress and improve emotional regulation.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Carly works with clients to weigh their needs, goals, and preferences and experiments with techniques together to find what fits best. This shared decision-making helps tailor interventions so therapy feels relevant and manageable for each individual.
Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, access support from home or work, and integrate therapeutic work into daily life while still allowing for structured, skills-focused treatment guided by a licensed professional.
