About Carmen
Carmen Gomez Abreu greets people with a calm, practical approach. She is a Florida licensed clinical social worker with 30 years of experience. Carmen listens first, then helps clients figure out next steps.
She works in English and Spanish to make conversations easier for bilingual people. Carmen helps with stress, anxiety, depression, and mood concerns like bipolar disorder. She supports people facing relationship strain, grief, trauma and abuse, and challenges around intimacy and self-esteem.
How Carmen works
Career questions, coping with life changes, and compassion fatigue are also within her focus. Her style is collaborative and straightforward. Sessions focus on clear skills, real-life problem solving, and understanding patterns that get in the way.
She combines acceptance-based ideas with cognitive tools and emotion-focused work to help people change what they can and accept what they cannot. Over three decades Carmen has worked with a wide range of concerns such as abandonment, attachment issues, adoption and foster care questions, caregiver stress, and communication or commitment struggles. That experience informs practical strategies and a steady therapeutic pace.
People who prefer talking in Spanish can use that language for sessions. Carmen also offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text messaging for flexible scheduling. To begin, users select the Start Therapy button and complete a short matching questionnaire before scheduling.

Online support options
Therapeutic approaches for online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that fit their values. It can help when stress, anxiety, or life changes make it hard to move forward. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings, and behavior and teaches concrete skills to shift unhelpful patterns; it is often used for anxiety, depression, and coping skills.The choice of approach is part of the work. Carmen will collaborate with each person to identify goals and test what feels most useful. Together they review what is helping, what is not, and adjust methods as needed so therapy matches real-life needs and preferences.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility. Video calls make it easier to use visual cues and practice new skills in conversation. Phone sessions can fit a short break or require less bandwidth. Live chat and text messaging allow brief check-ins or ongoing support between longer sessions. These options help people fit therapy into work, family, or caregiving schedules.
