About Carey
Carey Deeters is a licensed clinical social worker with 23 years in human services. He has worked across county, inpatient, hospice, community-based, and clinical settings. Carey has supported people through grief, substance use concerns, trauma, parenting stress, and life transitions.
His background includes work with children, youth, adults, and older adults in varied agencies. That range has given him experience with mood disorders, anxiety, attention differences, disruptive behavior concerns, and bipolar conditions.
Background and approach
He has helped people facing relationship strain, addiction struggles, and caregiving burdens. Carey leans on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in much of his work while keeping methods flexible. He also draws on motivational interviewing, narrative therapy, solution-focused techniques, and somatic ideas when they fit a person's needs.
Sessions focus on practical steps, clear thinking, and small changes that add up. In meetings he aims to help people understand how they got where they are and to choose the next step toward feeling better. Carey emphasizes working together to set realistic goals and to build coping skills.
He frames therapy as a paced process with room to try things and adjust when needed. He practices in Pennsylvania and offers care in English. Carey invites people who want hands-on, straightforward support to start exploring change and to take the next step forward.
Approaches and how they work online
Carey uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot unhelpful thinking and try new behaviors that change mood and stress. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress-related concerns and gives concrete skills to practice between sessions.He also uses Motivational Interviewing to help people find their own reasons to change. This approach is useful for issues like addiction or when someone feels stuck and unsure about next steps. Narrative therapy is another tool he brings in to help people reframe their story and see different possibilities for themselves.
Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. Carey talks with each person about goals and preferences and may combine methods to fit the situation. He checks in regularly to see what is working and adjusts the plan together.
Online sessions can be arranged as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video is useful for in-depth work and face-to-face conversation. Phone sessions are a simpler option when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers voice only. Live chat and messaging can be used for brief check-ins, homework support, or shorter contacts between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to keep momentum between meetings.
