About Carole
Carole Spivack is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in New York with over 20 years of experience. She focuses on anger management and the ways anger can affect relationships and intimacy. She also helps with stress, anxiety, depression, career concerns, sleep problems, and coping with life changes.
Her work is practical and direct. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and mindfulness tools to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and change responses. Sessions include clear steps and exercises people can try between meetings to test what works for them.
Carole helps people build a stronger sense of self that supports motivation and confidence. That can make work and relationship decisions easier to manage. She also addresses communication and control issues that often come up with anger and commitment concerns.
When someone is coping with trauma, abuse, or emotional overload like compassion fatigue, she uses structured techniques to reduce distress and improve daily functioning. For obsessive or compulsive symptoms and mood problems, she applies behavior-focused strategies and mindfulness practices to reduce repetitive patterns.
Her style is interactive and collaborative. She discusses goals and steps in plain terms and adjusts the plan as progress is made. Anyone considering work with her is encouraged to review session options and the sign-up steps before scheduling a first meeting.
How her approaches work for online sessions
Carole uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to map how thoughts, feelings and actions connect. CBT sessions focus on noticing unhelpful thinking patterns, trying small changes, and reviewing what worked. This approach is useful for anxiety, mood concerns, obsessions and workplace stress.She also integrates Mindfulness Therapy to help people develop steady attention and reduce reactivity. Mindfulness practices in session are short and practical, aimed at improving sleep, managing anger spikes, and supporting emotion regulation.
Finding the best approach is collaborative. She discusses goals, preferences and how symptoms show up in daily life, then recommends strategies to try. Techniques can be adjusted based on what the client learns from small experiments between meetings.
