Carrie Gheith, LCSW

Carrie Gheith is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) with 20 years of experience supporting people through stress, anxiety, trauma, and depression. She centers each session on the person in front of her and treats them as the expert on their own life. Her approach is practical and straightforward, aimed at helping people feel more capable and hopeful. Carrie uses client-centered methods to build trust and explore what matters most to each person. She combines cognitive behavioral ideas to spot unhelpful thinking and mindfulness practices to calm the body and focus attention. Motivational interviewing and solution-focused techniques are used when people want short-term change or clearer steps forward. Her background includes helping people manage life transitions and the emotional fallout of major stressors. She has worked with concerns such as adoption and foster care, blended family issues, cancer-related stress, caregiver strain, and immigration-related stresses. She also addresses family of origin patterns, communication problems, guilt, shame, and feelings of emptiness. Sessions tend to emphasize clear goals and practical skills. Carrie helps people develop tools they can use between meetings, such as breathing and grounding exercises, cognitive reframes, and small behavioral steps toward their goals. She aims to make therapy feel like a steady, collaborative process. Based in New York, she offers services in English.

How Carrie’s approaches translate to online therapy

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and following the person’s priorities. Online sessions can still offer that same attentive, respectful listening and a plan based on what matters most to the client. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, uses clear steps to identify unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors; it works well online when therapist and client review thoughts, homework, and practical exercises together. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to manage stress and strong feelings, and those exercises can be guided in a remote session. Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Carrie will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences, and together they will decide which methods to try and how to adapt them to life at home or work. The first few meetings typically focus on building a plan that feels manageable and relevant. The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Many clients find online work helpful because it can fit into a busy day, reduce travel time, and make it easier to schedule short check-ins. Other practical benefits include easier access during life transitions and the ability to practice skills in the actual environments where challenges happen. Carrie aims to help people build usable tools and steady momentum, whether sessions are remote or arranged differently.
