Carrie Gheith, LCSW

Carrie Gheith is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) based in New York with 20 years of experience. She focuses on practical, down-to-earth help for people facing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, and depression. Carrie aims to make the first step feel manageable for someone who is worried or unsure.

She centers sessions on the person in front of her and believes people know their own story best. That client-centered stance guides how she listens and how she helps set goals. Sessions use clear tools drawn from cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness to address unhelpful thoughts and to build steady coping skills.

Carrie also uses solution-focused methods and motivational interviewing to make progress feel doable and to help people find the next right step. She has worked with issues tied to trauma and abuse, and she supports people through major life changes. Living with health challenges, including cancer and caregiver stress, is one of the areas she lists among her focuses.

Her background includes supporting people dealing with family of origin problems, adoption and foster care questions, blended family concerns, immigration issues, and relationship communication struggles. She helps people work through guilt, shame, loneliness, and a sense of emptiness while exploring life purpose.

When someone starts with Carrie they can expect straightforward conversation, practical strategies, and a paced plan for change. She aims to honor each person’s strengths while helping them build new skills for everyday life.

How her approaches translate to online care

Client-centered therapy means the sessions focus on each person’s priorities and strengths, with the therapist following the client’s lead to decide what matters most. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is about noticing unhelpful thoughts and testing them with simple exercises to change feelings and behavior. Mindfulness therapy teaches short attention and breathing practices that can reduce reactivity and help with stress and anxiety.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Carrie will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. That may mean trying CBT techniques for a few sessions and adding mindfulness practice, or using motivational interviewing to build momentum toward a specific change.

Practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions into a busy day and making appointments without travel. If you are interested in remote sessions, please confirm the current session options before booking so you know which formats are available. Online work can make it easier to maintain regular check-ins, practice short exercises between sessions, and keep therapy consistent during life transitions.
