About My Clients
My clients are vibrant, intelligent individuals who sometimes face challenges regulating their emotions, controlling their impulses, maintaining their relationships, and being compassionate toward themselves. I also see people who struggle with overthinking, mood fluctuations, and low self-esteem. Often, folks reach out after losing a loved one (companion animals included), or in the midst of a conflict or transition.
My Background and Approach
I use only evidence-based interventions (methods that have been proven to work) to treat mental health conditions. The backbone of my practice is Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT), supplemented with strategies from Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). Both modalities are effective in helping people understand and change their behavior. I use additional approaches when clinically indicated and, of course, sometimes laughter is medicine! As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW), I assess and treat my clients in the context of their environment, and I practice with a nonjudgmental, anti-racist, sex-positive, and gender/identity/lifestyle-affirming stance. I work frequently with arts and entertainment professionals, members of the LGBTQIA+ community, corporate leaders, and those whose loved ones have been diagnosed with Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD). Please see my website (carriecovell.com) for details on my background and experience.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I'm a member of the LGBTQIA+ community, and I have a passion for animal advocacy - I adopt from and foster for a local rescue focused on senior and/or special needs dogs.
