About Carlos

Carlos Beivides is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in New York who helps people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, anger, and depression. He speaks directly and expects commitment from clients who want change. He frames therapy as active work rather than ongoing reassurance.

With ten years of clinical experience, Carlos combines practical skills with an emphasis on honest, goal-oriented sessions. He uses Client-Centered Therapy alongside Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy to help people spot unhelpful thinking, practice new behaviors, and manage intense emotions. Sessions focus on concrete steps and real-life progress.

Carlos brings experience supporting people with post-traumatic stress, first responder and veteran concerns, traumatic brain injury, sexual assault and abuse, and related issues such as guilt, shame, isolation, and communication problems. He also addresses commitment issues, control struggles, and family-related conflict when those concerns affect an individual.

Expect straightforward conversations that aim to identify patterns and build specific skills. Progress is measured by changes you notice in daily life, like fewer panic episodes, clearer boundaries, or calmer reactions to triggers.

He asks for active engagement from clients and works collaboratively to set clear goals. If someone prefers a gentler, slower pace, Carlos will discuss how to adapt the work while keeping focus on meaningful change.

How online work uses Client-Centered and CBT methods

Client-Centered Therapy centers the person's experience and priorities, giving them space to describe what matters most while the therapist follows their lead. It helps when someone needs validation and a clear sense that their goals guide the work.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and then tests new ways of thinking and acting. CBT is useful for worry, panic, low mood, and repetitive negative thinking because it produces concrete steps to try between sessions.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and better interpersonal skills. It can help when emotions feel overwhelming or when relationships repeatedly trigger intense reactions.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. Carlos will work collaboratively to decide which methods fit a person's needs and preferences and will adjust the plan as progress is made. That means therapy can be pragmatic one week and more reflective the next, depending on goals.

Session formats are not specified in the profile, so confirm current options before booking. Many people find online work helpful because it can be scheduled around work, reduce travel time, and let them have shorter check-ins when days are busy. Online sessions can also make it easier to continue regular appointments during life transitions and when managing recovery from trauma.
