More about Carmen
- 25 years' experience
- Female
- LCSW-R
As a licensed therapist with 25 years of experience in New York, I specialize in supporting individuals navigating complex emotional landscapes. My practice focuses on addressing depression, anxiety, relationship challenges, and trauma with compassionate, personalized care. I have deep expertise in helping clients work through self-love struggles, communication barriers, social anxiety, and attachment issues.
My approach centers on creating a supportive environment where individuals can explore their inner experiences, heal from past wounds, and develop healthier emotional patterns. I am particularly committed to supporting women and men through life transitions, helping clients overcome feelings of isolation, guilt, and shame while building resilience and self-understanding.
With a trauma-informed and client-centered methodology, I draw on evidence-based practices to guide individuals toward meaningful personal growth. My goal is to empower clients to develop stronger emotional skills, improve relationships, and cultivate a more compassionate relationship with themselves.

About online counseling
- Affordable.
- Pay a low flat fee.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
