About Carole

Carole Spivack is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in New York with more than 20 years of experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, anger, relationship and intimacy-related issues, and the fallout of trauma and abuse. Her work also covers sleeping problems, self-esteem, career concerns, depression, and coping with life changes.

Carole often addresses anger as a central barrier that affects relationships and intimacy. She helps people notice patterns that undermine motivation and confidence. That can include communication problems, commitment concerns, control issues, and workplace stress.

Her style is direct and interactive. She uses practical conversation and exercises to build a more positive self-image and clearer goals. Carole names what is getting in the way and practices new responses together during sessions.

She draws on cognitive behavioral therapy techniques and mindfulness approaches to help with mood, obsessive or compulsive behavior, and social anxiety. Sessions often include simple skills to manage strong feelings, break unhelpful thinking cycles, and improve sleep and daily routines.

Carole also works with people facing life transitions and with compassion fatigue. Expect a collaborative process that focuses on specific problems and small, doable changes. She is based in New York and works in English.

BHow sessions work

How her approaches translate to online work

Carole uses cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness in practical ways. CBT focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing them with small behavioral experiments. That helps with anxiety, mood problems, obsessive thoughts, and workplace stress. Mindfulness practice builds attention to the present moment and teaches simple ways to calm the body and reduce reactivity, which can help with anger and sleep.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. She will discuss your needs, goals, and preferences and recommend techniques that fit your situation. Decisions about methods are collaborative and may shift as progress is made.

Confirm the current session options before booking so you know which formats are available. Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. They also let people try practical homework between sessions and bring real-life situations into conversation to practice new skills.
