About Carrie

Carrie Gheith is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) based in New York who brings 20 years of professional experience to her practice. She centers care on evidence-informed methods such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy while honoring each person's lived experience and strengths.

Background and approach

Carrie works with people addressing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, depression, and challenges tied to major life changes, offering steady support through difficult transitions. Her practice also attends to a range of related concerns including adoption and foster care matters, blended family dynamics, caregiver stress, communication problems, domestic violence, and issues around guilt, shame, and forgiveness.

Carrie incorporates client-centered principles and mindfulness alongside motivational interviewing and solution-focused strategies to help clients identify goals and build practical coping skills. She emphasizes collaboration, acknowledging clients as experts in their own stories while providing guidance drawn from two decades of clinical work.

Integrating evidence-based approaches with online flexibility

Many in-person methods translate well to video and messaging, and Carrie commonly draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and build practical coping skills for anxiety, depression, and stress. She also uses Client-Centered Therapy, which focuses on empathetic listening and supporting each person as the expert of their own life, useful for building trust and exploring personal values.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is a collaborative process. Carrie works with clients to explore which methods feel most helpful for their goals and adapts techniques over time based on preferences and progress so the work reflects what matters to the client.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to increase accessibility and convenience. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, maintain continuity during life transitions, and choose the communication style that best supports each person’s needs.
