About Carly

Carly Anne Lockowitz is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who uses a client-centered approach to help people manage mood shifts, anxiety, depression, trauma, and low self-esteem. She focuses on practical skills and steady support so people can feel more able to handle daily stress. Carly describes her work as compassionate and genuine, with an emphasis on collaboration and respect for each person’s experience.

With nine years of clinical experience, she draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills during sessions. That includes practicing emotion regulation, distress tolerance, interpersonal effectiveness, and mindfulness. These skills are offered in plain language and practiced in ways that connect to everyday situations.

She also uses a trauma-focused perspective to recognize how past events affect current feelings and reactions. That perspective guides how she tailors skills and pacing to each person’s needs. Carly aims to help people notice patterns, try new choices, and build on strengths rather than just focusing on symptoms.

Sessions center on building practical tools and clearer communication. Carly helps people practice new ways of responding to stress, anger, and relationship struggles. The work moves at a pace the person finds manageable and focuses on concrete steps between sessions.

People meet her when they want relief from intense emotions, help with life changes, or stronger day-to-day coping. Carly supports those wanting to reduce overwhelm, manage mood instability, and find clearer direction in relationships and personal goals.

Using client-centered and skills-based approaches online

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening, empathy, and following the person’s lead to address what matters most. It aims to create a respectful working relationship and to help people feel heard while exploring solutions for daily struggles.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches practical skills such as emotion regulation, distress tolerance, interpersonal effectiveness, and mindfulness. These skills can help with mood swings, intense emotions, impulsivity, and relationship problems when practiced in-session and between meetings.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the person to decide which methods and skills fit their goals and preferences. That decision is revisited as needs change so therapy stays useful and relevant.
