About Carley
Carley Rothstein is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with eight years of experience in clinical and community settings in North Carolina. She began her career as an Exceptional Children’s teacher in a local school district and later ran a tutoring and behavioral intervention business before moving into community-based developmental services and outpatient therapy.
Carley completed a Graduate Certificate in Applied Behavior Analysis from Penn State World Campus and earned a Master’s Degree in Social Work from the University of North Carolina Chapel Hill. She lists Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), mindfulness approaches, and Motivational Interviewing among the methods she uses.
Her clinical work has included outpatient therapy for people facing depression, anxiety, trauma, ADHD, autism spectrum concerns, and challenges related to foster care and adoption. She has also provided school-based psychotherapy and behavioral services for infants and young children through developmental programs.
Carley has experience offering integrated behavioral health services in medical and clinic settings, group homes, and assisted-living facilities to help people adjust to aging-related changes and dementia-related behaviors. Her background spans work with youth, teens, young adults, and adults across the lifespan.
Outside of work she cares for a son with Fragile X Syndrome and spends time with family and pets. Her approach centers on working with clients to reduce stress, manage anger and anxiety, and build skills for everyday life.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Carley uses Client-Centered Therapy to focus on what matters to the person in front of her. That means she listens to priorities and adjusts the session to address those goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to identify unhelpful thinking and test small behavioral changes that reduce stress and anger. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills are often taught as practical tools for managing intense emotions, improving interpersonal effectiveness, and reducing reactivity.Choosing the best approach is part of the process. Carley works collaboratively with each person to select methods that fit their needs and goals. Over a few sessions she and the client can try different strategies and settle on what feels most useful for managing anger, anxiety, or life transitions.
Confirm the current session formats before booking since the profile does not list specific options. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, to have shorter check-ins when time is tight, or to use audio-only when bandwidth is limited. Licensed professionals can guide skill practice between meetings so sessions support changes that carry into everyday life.
