How Carey works
Carey’s work leans on cognitive behavioral ideas while staying flexible to match what each person needs.

Sessions focus on clear goals and practical steps that are easy to try between meetings.
In sessions, Carey listens for patterns that cause stress and helps people try small, manageable changes. He emphasizes skills that reduce anxiety, improve communication, and support recovery from addiction or loss. The aim is to help people feel more in control and more able to make choices that match their values.
Carey practices in Pennsylvania and conducts sessions in English. He has spent decades in varied care settings, and he draws on that range to tailor support for each person’s needs.

Online support options
Approaches that translate well to online care
Carey uses cognitive behavioral approaches to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and try small behavior changes that reduce anxiety or lift mood. Motivational interviewing is used to build readiness for change and to support shifts in substance use or other patterns by focusing on the person’s values and goals. Narrative therapy helps people tell a different story about their experiences so hard events have less power over daily choices.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Carey collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences. He adapts the mix of techniques over time based on what is helping and what feels manageable for the person.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions let people use visual cues and practice skills together. Phone sessions can be a straightforward option that needs less bandwidth. Live chat and messaging are useful for quick check-ins, brief coaching, or when a shorter touchpoint fits into a busy day. These options make scheduling and continuity easier for people with varied routines and responsibilities.
