More about Carla

  • 14 years' experience
  • Female
  • LPC

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Georgia, with over 12 years experience. My approach is client centered, transparent, genuine, & empathetic. I like to meet clients where they are & I enjoy helping them reach their goals. This is achieved by mostly utilizing Cognitive Behavioral therapy with a mix of solution focused therapy, family systems & a very effective strategy known as Motivational interviewing.

While I specialize in working with clients who are having difficulty coping with stress, loss, neglect, and abuse; I also am very good at working with clients who are dealing with self esteem, relationship, OCD, depression, chronic health conditions, and Substance Abuse.

From time to time, we all need a listening ear & someone to reflect what you have experienced. Let me applaud you on taking the steps needed to overall have a better quality of life & ultimately, to feel better & have more insight. I look forward to meeting and talking with you.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.

Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.

I've been working with Carla for 2 years now and the level of growth that I've experienced is amazing. She listens, is attentive, very knowledgeable and allows herself to be a vessel when necessary.

I was new to therapy, and while the first therapist I chose was lovely, my intuition was telling me to look again. Then I found Carla, oh what a gem! I enjoy speaking with Carla because while she is professional, you also feel as though you are speaking with one of your best friends. The cool thing about her is you don't have to be concerned about her spilling your tea to anyone else :) She listens and allows you to express your feelings and what is going on in your life. Once I complete a call with her, I feel lighter and usually have had a wonderful laugh or 20 in our sessions. I can be open and transparent about my relationship with God and anything else that is important to me. I do not have a loss for words, I talk a lot, and she takes it all in. That in itself is no small fete! LOL I would recommend her to anyone who is looking for a therapist that truly listens, treats you with respect, encourages you to do better, and is just a joy to talk to.
