About Carly
Carly George, LISW, helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, parenting challenges, addictions, and relationship strain. She offers straightforward support for anxiety, depression, ADHD concerns, and the ups and downs of family life. Carly aims to create a respectful, nonjudgmental space where clients set the goals and lead the pace.
She brings 14 years of clinical experience as a licensed social worker in Ohio. Much of that time involved substance use and mental health work alongside family-focused concerns.
Background and approach
That background means she is familiar with both individual coping and how patterns between people affect daily life. Carly’s style centers on listening first and following the client’s lead. She uses practical tools from cognitive behavioral work to help change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors.
Motivational interviewing helps when someone is unsure about making a change. She also draws on client-centered methods and mindfulness ideas to help people build self-awareness and steadier responses to stress. Narrative techniques are used to reframe painful stories people tell about themselves and their relationships.
Sessions focus on clear, manageable steps - communication skills, relapse prevention strategies, coping plans, or short skill-building practices. Carly emphasizes collaboration: she helps craft goals and checks in to adjust the plan as needed. Her approach is calm and direct, aimed at helping people regain control and move forward.

Approaches that translate to online care
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on spotting and shifting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It often uses short exercises and homework to practice new skills between sessions, which works well over video or messaging.Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and following the client's priorities. The therapist mirrors concerns and helps clients name their goals, a process that fits naturally into video conversations or phone talks.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Carly will work with each person to choose methods that match their goals, comfort level, and daily life. Together they adjust strategies as progress or setbacks occur, with plans that can change over time.
Online formats offer practical benefits for busy people. Video calls let the therapist see facial cues and use interactive tools, while phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is limited. Live chat or text messaging are useful for quick check-ins, brief coaching, and maintaining momentum between longer sessions. These options help people fit therapy into work, parenting, and other routines.
