About Carey
Carey Deeters is a licensed clinical social worker with 23 years in human services. He has worked across county, in-patient, hospice, community, and clinical settings. Carey helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, ADHD, addiction, grief, and relationship or family concerns.
He has provided care for children, adults, and older adults in many settings. That background includes supporting people with substance use, trauma and abuse, parenting struggles, and life transition issues.
Background and approach
Carey has experience with diagnoses such as major depressive disorder, generalized anxiety, autism spectrum differences, ADHD, disruptive mood dysregulation disorder, and bipolar conditions. Carey’s main approach draws on cognitive behavioral therapy, with flexibility to use other methods when needed. He uses skills-based work to identify unhelpful thoughts and change patterns that maintain distress.
Motivational interviewing helps people find their own reasons to change, and narrative work helps reframe personal stories. Sessions are collaborative and practical. Carey focuses on small, doable steps that fit daily life.
He aims to help clients feel more steady, address symptoms that get in the way, and build routines that support long-term functioning. Carey offers sessions in English and provides video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. He practices in Pennsylvania as a VA LCSW and PA LCSW and brings an adaptable style to meet each person’s needs.
Starting is straightforward: complete a short matching questionnaire, then schedule a session based on availability. Carey emphasizes support, clear goals, and steady progress tailored to each person.
Approaches that translate to online care
Carey uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help identify unhelpful thoughts and change behaviors that keep problems going. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, ADHD-related routines, and many daily challenges. Motivational interviewing is another tool he uses to help people clarify goals and find internal reasons to change; it is effective when someone feels stuck or unsure about next steps. Narrative therapy helps people examine the stories they tell about themselves and try alternative ways to understand their life events and choices.Choosing the right approach is a shared process. Carey will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked in the past. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan over time based on what helps most.
Online sessions are offered by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video lets you work through exercises that benefit from face-to-face interaction, while phone calls can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a simpler check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging support brief check-ins, tracking progress, or staying connected between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and to keep momentum between appointments.
