About Carla
Carla Moore-McNeil is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in North Carolina with 27 years of professional experience. She works with people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, depression, and life changes. Carla focuses on practical ways to help with motivation, confidence, and the everyday difficulties that get in the way of feeling capable.
Her approach centers on noticing thoughts, habits, and behaviors that keep problems going. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and related methods to help people test new ways of thinking and acting. She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, EMDR, hypnotherapy, and mindfulness tools when those methods fit the concern.
Sessions are conversational and goal-focused. Carla helps people identify small, doable steps and practices they can try between meetings. She encourages clear, concrete strategies for coping with grief, mood changes, and stress at work or home.
Carla places value on the client’s own knowledge of their life. She treats that knowledge as the starting point and builds from the client’s strengths. The work aims to reduce unhelpful patterns and increase everyday routines that support mood and function.
Her background includes decades of clinical practice with adults facing life transitions and health-related challenges. People meet to talk through where they are now, set practical goals, and try new skills to see what helps in real life.
How her approaches translate to online work
Carla uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and test small behavior changes. CBT focuses on practical experiments and skill practice that translate well to sessions conducted at a distance. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is about noticing thoughts and values, then taking actions that matter despite uncomfortable feelings. ACT can help with motivation, grief, and life transitions. EMDR addresses distress tied to upsetting memories by using guided attention and processing techniques to reduce emotional intensity.Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. Carla will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan based on what the client finds useful in weekly work.
Confirm current session options before booking since the biography does not list specific online formats. Online work can make regular appointments easier to fit into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and support practice of skills between meetings. Ask about which session formats are offered when scheduling so practical arrangements match daily routines.
