About Carla
Carla Moore-McNeil is a licensed clinical social worker with 27 years of experience in North Carolina. She focuses on practical support for people facing stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, depression, and life transitions. Carla works with each person at their own pace and encourages small, manageable steps toward feeling better.
She starts by listening to the story you bring and acknowledging your strengths. From there she helps you set clear goals and tries approaches that fit your personality and daily life.
How Carla works
Sessions are down-to-earth and centered on what you want to change, not on jargon. Carla uses tools from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and take actions that match their values. She also offers techniques from EMDR and hypnotherapy when trauma or deeply held memories are part of the struggle.
Mindfulness practices are woven in to reduce overwhelm and improve focus. Over many years she has helped people coping with aging, cancer, eating and food-related issues, feeling empty, questions about life purpose, and money worries. She also works with mood disorders and young adult concerns.
Her work aims to build practical coping skills alongside clearer life direction. Carla believes people already have strengths to draw on and that therapy is a collaborative effort. She supports clients in finding sustainable changes that fit their lives and values.

Online support options
Therapeutic approaches for online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take steps that match those values. It focuses on accepting difficult feelings while committing to meaningful actions, which can help with anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns. It is often used for anxiety, low mood, and coping with stress. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) addresses distress from traumatic memories by processing upsetting material in a structured way, which can reduce the intensity of painful memories.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss your history, goals, and preferences and recommend methods that seem to fit. Sessions can mix approaches so the plan matches what you need and how you prefer to work.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video lets you see nonverbal cues and do longer therapeutic exercises. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or you need a quick check-in. Live chat and text messaging provide short, ongoing support between sessions and can fit into busy schedules.
