About Consuelo
Consuelo Gardner is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in North Carolina with five years of clinical experience. She focuses on common problems like stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, coping with life changes, grief, trauma and abuse, parenting concerns, bipolar disorder, compassion fatigue, and social anxiety or phobia.
She uses client-centered ideas to build a working relationship. That means sessions begin with what matters to the person and move at a practical pace. She also draws on motivational interviewing to clarify goals and encourage small steps toward change.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, is part of her routine. She looks at how thoughts affect behavior and helps people try new ways of thinking and acting. Sessions often include simple coping skills people can use between visits.
Consuelo has worked with mothers experiencing postpartum depression and anxiety and has supported people dealing with depression, anxiety, and parenting difficulties. Her examples come from day-to-day life and focus on workable strategies rather than abstract theory.
People who choose her often want clear, concrete tools and a straightforward plan. She helps set goals, track progress, and adjust techniques as needed. To begin, she asks about current priorities and then designs steps that fit the person's routine.
BHow sessions work
Therapeutic approaches and working online
Consuelo uses Client-Centered Therapy to place the person's concerns and goals at the center of sessions. That approach focuses on listening, clarifying what matters, and shaping sessions around each person's priorities. It is helpful when someone needs to sort out values and decide practical next steps.She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify unhelpful thoughts and try concrete behavior changes. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, and social phobia because it breaks issues into clear problems to work on between sessions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will review options, ask about goals and preferences, and adjust methods as needed. Clients and the therapist choose practical tools together and revisit what is or isn't helping during follow-ups.
If you plan to use online sessions, confirm the session formats available before booking. The main practical benefit of virtual work is fitting sessions into everyday life - it can make scheduling around work, childcare, or travel easier. Some formats also allow shorter check-ins or sessions without video when that better fits the moment. Ask about the current online options when you schedule to match the format to your routine.
