More about Carnice
- 10 years' experience
- Female
- Psychologist
I'm a therapist with a decade of experience supporting individuals through some of life's most challenging moments. I specialize in helping people navigate depression, anxiety, stress, grief, social anxiety, OCD, and low self-esteem, as well as work through anger in healthy ways.
My approach is grounded in compassion and cultural awareness. I believe in creating a therapeutic space where you feel seen, respected, and understood for who you are. I'm committed to honoring your values and identity throughout our work together.
I've had the privilege of working with diverse clients and bringing my own perspective as a woman of color to the therapeutic relationship. This informs how I show up for my clients—with authenticity, empathy, and a deep commitment to your wellbeing.
My therapeutic style is collaborative and person-centered. I work with you to understand what's happening in your life and help you build the tools and insights you need to move forward. Whether you're processing loss, managing overwhelming emotions, or working to rebuild your sense of self, I'm here to support you every step of the way.
Taking the first step toward therapy takes courage, and I'm honored to walk alongside you on your healing journey.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.
Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.
