Carey Deeters is a licensed clinical social worker with 23 years in human services. He has worked across county, inpatient, hospice, community, and clinical settings. Carey helps people facing stress, anxiety, low self esteem, depression, addiction, trauma, and other life challenges.
Over two decades he has supported children, adults, and older adults through grief, substance use concerns, parenting strains, and major life transitions. He has experience working with diagnoses that include major depressive disorder, generalized anxiety, ADHD, bipolar I and II, disruptive mood dysregulation, autism spectrum conditions, and related behavioral disorders.
Carey’s work draws heavily on cognitive behavioral approaches, especially CBT and REBT, while remaining flexible to each person’s needs. He blends practical skill-building with conversations about how past experiences shaped current patterns. Sessions aim to help people notice thoughts and behaviors, try small changes, and track what helps.
He also uses motivational interviewing, narrative ideas, solution-focused techniques, and somatic-informed methods when they fit the goals. That mix allows short-term problem solving and longer work on identity, relationships, and coping.
People who like direct, practical guidance alongside reflective conversation tend to fit well with his style. Carey’s approach centers on helping people take the next step toward feeling more settled and more effective in daily life. If a parent is worried about mood, attention, or family conflict, Carey focuses on clear next steps and realistic changes.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Carey commonly uses cognitive behavioral work to help people identify thought patterns and try new behaviors. CBT focuses on practical steps such as tracking thoughts, testing unhelpful beliefs, and building small coping skills for anxiety, low self esteem, and mood problems.
He also draws on motivational interviewing to help people find their own reasons for change. This approach uses reflective conversation to strengthen motivation and set achievable goals when someone is unsure or stuck.
Finding the right method is part of the work. Carey treats approach selection as a collaboration - he will review goals, try techniques, and adjust based on what helps. That allows shorter solution-focused work or longer narrative and somatic-informed work depending on what the person needs.
