About Carrie
Carrie Gheith is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in New York with 20 years of professional experience. She helps people who are handling stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, depression, and major life changes. Her work also covers issues related to adoption and foster care, blended family concerns, caregiver stress, and challenges following cancer.
She uses practical, goal-focused methods to notice unhelpful thoughts and habits. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is part of her approach and is used to identify patterns that increase distress and test new ways of responding. She also draws on client-centered ideas to follow the person’s priorities, mindfulness to slow down strong reactions, and motivational interviewing and solution-focused techniques to set and reach short-term goals.
Sessions tend to focus on concrete skills and small, measurable changes. That might include tracking thoughts, trying specific coping strategies, or breaking big problems into steps. She pays attention to family of origin issues, guilt and shame, forgiveness, and feelings of emptiness or isolation when these come up.
Her background includes two decades of work supporting people through transitions and stressful life events. She describes clients as the experts on their lives and works collaboratively to build on existing strengths. Practical steps and clear next actions are emphasized rather than vague plans.
People who contact her can expect straightforward, structured conversations about what is causing distress now and what small changes could make daily life more manageable. The first session typically focuses on identifying immediate concerns and possible next steps.
How CBT and practical approaches guide online sessions
Online work with Carrie integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, client-centered methods, and mindfulness in a practical way. CBT focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing different responses to reduce anxiety and low mood. Client-centered methods prioritize what the person wants to work on, with the therapist following the client’s lead on goals and pacing. Mindfulness practices help people notice reactions and create brief pauses before responding to stress.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, try methods, and adjust based on what helps most. This is a collaborative process that aims to match strategies to the client’s needs and preferences rather than forcing a single method.
Confirm the current session options before booking, since formats were not specified in the biography. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, cut down travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. They also make it simpler to practice techniques between sessions and to bring real-life situations directly into conversation.
