AAbout

About Carey

Carey Deeters is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Virginia and Pennsylvania with 23 years of experience. He has worked in county agencies, inpatient settings, hospice care, community programs, and clinical agencies. Carey helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, ADHD, addictions, grief, trauma, and relationship or family concerns.

He has experience supporting adults, youth, and older adults through many challenges. That includes substance use disorders, grief and loss, abuse, parenting and family strain, and life-stage transitions. Carey has also worked with people who received diagnoses such as major depressive disorder, generalized anxiety disorder, autism spectrum disorder, ADHD, oppositional disorders, disruptive mood dysregulation disorder, OCD, bipolar I and II, and personality disorders.

His approach emphasizes cognitive behavioral ideas and rational emotive behavior techniques while remaining flexible. He uses methods that focus on thoughts and behaviors and combines them with strategies that help people tell their story and find workable solutions. Carey may bring in somatic techniques when body-focused approaches can help process stress or trauma.

Sessions focus on practical steps and clearer thinking. He aims to help people identify patterns, try small changes, and measure what works. Carey also addresses concrete problems like parenting, caregiver stress, first responder concerns, body image, and issues around intimacy or kink.

Carey works in Pennsylvania and provides services in English. To begin, people follow the practice's intake steps and schedule an initial session after completing a short matching questionnaire.

BHow sessions work

Approaches used in remote sessions and practical fit

Carey commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Motivational Interviewing in his work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress. Motivational Interviewing is a conversational approach that helps people find their own reasons for change and is useful for substance use or when motivation is mixed.

He also draws on Narrative Therapy ideas, which help people examine the stories they tell about themselves and try out alternative ways of understanding events. These approaches are presented as tools to be tested together rather than fixed rules, and Carey works collaboratively to choose what feels most helpful based on goals and preferences.

The biography does not list which online formats are offered, so confirm current session options before booking. In general, remote sessions can make it easier to fit work and family schedules, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and reduce travel time. Carey will discuss practical arrangements and tailor session length and focus so therapy can fit into everyday life.
