Carey Deeters, LCSW

Carey Deeters is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 23 years in the human services field. He has worked across county, inpatient, hospice, community-based, and clinical settings. He has supported people facing substance use, grief, trauma, parenting stress, and life transitions.

Carey has experience helping people with mood and anxiety concerns, attention differences, behavioral disorders, and bipolar conditions. He also addresses relationship and family strains, addiction, and intimacy-related concerns. He draws on a broad clinical background with children, adults, and older adults.

His work is strongly oriented to Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy, while remaining flexible to each person’s needs. He uses practical, goal-focused strategies to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and build new everyday habits. Sessions typically involve talking through patterns and trying small, manageable changes between meetings.

Carey also integrates Motivational Interviewing, Narrative Therapy, Solution-Focused techniques, and Somatic approaches when they fit the situation. That gives room for both thought-oriented work and attention to bodily responses to stress or trauma. He aims to meet people where they are and help them move toward clearer goals.

People who want direct, conversational therapy that focuses on thoughts and everyday habits may find his style a good match. Carey invites clients to take small steps, practice new habits, and reassess what’s working as they go. When someone is ready to begin, he supports the next step forward.

How Carey’s approaches translate to online therapy

Carey commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Motivational Interviewing in his work. CBT focuses on identifying thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and replacing them with more helpful patterns, which can help with anxiety, depression, and everyday habit change. Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative way of exploring a person’s own reasons for change and building motivation one step at a time.

He also uses Narrative Therapy elements to help people reframe their stories and see different paths forward. These approaches are conversational and goal oriented, which fits well with remote sessions when people want clear takeaways and homework between meetings. Choosing the best approach is a joint process; the therapist will work with each person to decide which methods match their goals, needs, and preferences.

Session formats are not detailed in the biography, so confirm current teletherapy options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, shorten check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It can also let people try techniques at home and report back on what worked, so therapy can adapt quickly to everyday challenges.
