About Carley
Carley Rothstein is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in North Carolina with eight years of professional experience. She began in schools as an Exceptional Children’s teacher, moved into academic tutoring and behavioral intervention, and then provided Community Based Rehabilitative Services through an infant-toddler program. She now provides outpatient therapy to people facing a wide range of challenges.
She works with concerns such as depression, anxiety, trauma and abuse, ADHD, bipolar mood issues, grief, and relationship stress. She also addresses parenting challenges, sleep and eating problems, anger, self-esteem, career stress, and adapting to life changes. Additional areas of focus include adoption and foster care, aging and geriatric issues, attachment issues, autism spectrum concerns, and kink-friendly sexual culture topics.
Her clinical toolkit includes client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), mindfulness approaches, and motivational interviewing. In practice she uses these methods to help people notice patterns, try different coping strategies, and set small goals they can use day to day.
Before focusing on therapy she worked in schools, group homes, and assisted-living settings and provided integrated behavioral health in medical clinics. That background informs how she helps people manage behavior, transitions, and caregiving stress.
Outside work she cares for a busy household that includes a son with Fragile X Syndrome, two dogs, and two rabbits. She also advocates for the special needs community and spends free time with family in the mountains.
Background and approach notes: Carley keeps sessions practical and grounded. She prioritizes clear goals, step-by-step skills, and collaborative planning so people can test changes between visits. If you want straightforward strategies for managing stress, mood, or relationship strain, she aims to help you find workable steps.
BHow sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Carley uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors; CBT is practical for anxiety, depression, and mood management. She also draws on dialectical behavior therapy skills to teach emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and relationship communication that can be practiced between sessions. Client-centered therapy is part of her approach too, focusing on listening and building goals that matter to the individual.Finding the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. She will work with each person to choose methods that match their goals, current stresses, and what feels doable. That decision can shift over time as needs change and new skills are learned.
Confirm the exact session formats before booking, as the biography does not list specific options. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life by reducing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins during a work break, or enabling video or phone conversations when long commutes are impractical. These practical benefits help people test skills in their everyday routines and keep momentum between meetings.
