About me

I am a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker with over 11 years of experience working in the mental health field. I have provided case management services, group therapy sessions, individual therapy sessions, therapy at school, and tele-health services. Additionally, I have even served as an in-home therapist providing mental health services in the home. I have worked with clients from a broad range of concerns including: trauma, anxiety, depression, self-esteem issues, relationship issues, family dynamic distresses, poor communication styles, and emotional abuse.

My counseling technique is very caring, encouraging, and client centered. I am very candid and direct when providing therapy. I take pride in demonstrating compassion and being sensitive and thoughtful of the needs of others. More than anything, I strongly believe in treating everyone with respect and dignity.

It takes a great deal of courage to seek professional help and even more courage to implement change. I applaud you for taking the first step. I would love the opportunity to begin this journey with you in taking the next steps to begin living a more rewarding and self-empowered lifestyle. It would be an honor to help guide you along the way.

I look forward to working with you.

She is Spirit led and she always answers of the biblical response. She’s non judgmental and she is always being Christ like in our sessions. I’m so grateful that she’s my therapist!

Carleen is a wonderful listener. She is caring, kind, and considerate. I leave my sessions feeling much better about myself. She is always there for support 24/7. Carleen receives my highest recommendation, and I have already recommended her and BetterHelp several times. She is a truly wonderful counselor!
